Should UFC have foot the bill? Dan Hooker takes crappy coach flight just so family can travel to UFC 325

Hooker, who is coming off a disappointing submission loss to Arman Tsarukyan last November, is someone who always goes out on his shield and keeps fight fans wanting more. You might think that the promotion would ensure “Hangman” has everything he needs for a big fight like UFC 325, but things weren’t so glamorous for Hooker this past week.

In order for Hooker to be able to bring his daughter and family with him to this weekend’s event in Sydney, the 23-fight UFC veteran had to fly economy on a budget flight. Hooker put his daughter in business class so she had a more comfortable trip. Hooker didn’t seem too bothered, but it’s still not a great look for UFC to have its co-headliner flying coach just to be able to have his kid watch him fight.

Check it out below and let us know what you think!

“I fight so my babies don’t have to,” wrote Hooker via Instagram.
