Dan Hooker tweets and deletes hint at satisfying payday after loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 267

UFC 267 was a disappointing night for Dan Hooker. After stepping in as a late replacement opponent for the streaking Islam Makhachev, “The Hangman” ended up losing via submission inside three minutes of action.

The number six-ranked Hooker (21-11) has now lost three of his last four fights. But that doesn’t seem to bother him too much, at least based on his post-fight social media activity.

The 31-year-old Kiwi posted a tweet that has since been deleted, hinting at a satisfying paycheck for his efforts to step up on late notice. Hooker tweeted this gif of Woody Harrelson wiping his tears with a wad of bills.
