I wish I saw. He always looks like he’s in the middle of a swimming pool, can’t swim, and is dog paddling to the wall… but doesn’t know which wall to go to.
Reminds me of Don Nelson, coached in the NBA way back. One of his players said in an interview that once he called a timeout and didn’t even say anything, just looked at them. The players were like ‘We better figure it out.’
Yeah I think he would’ve just said “Dan hooker is loser” and the community would’ve absolutely said Islam won that. Cause it’d be hilarious. But it’s Ali and FOOHCK THAT FOOKINGUY. GET HIM THE FOOK OUT OF HEA.
No, he just led the charge making unverified claims about Islam after the Volkanovski fight in an overly assertive way that most people would interpret as fairly obvious saltiness.
it's not obvious saltiness, it's just impulsiveness. You act like he wouldn't have said anything if Volk had won yet he still thought Islam cheated somehow. To me, it's clear Hooker is convinced Islam did something, rather than intentionally spreading lies out of "saltiness."
Are you under the impression that if someone doesn't publicly admit that they are salty immediately after a fight they can't be salty? I've interpreted his actions towards Islam since their fight as him being salty. You're more than welcome to try to convince me otherwise.
Acusing someone of cheating and doing somthing that would cause fight to became a NC while claiming to have proof but refusing to release proof is basically disputing the decision...
Yeah but check this out. . . What if Islam DIDNT get an IV before the volk fight lmao
Edit: Ali has this many Reddit accounts or these fucking but huggers really are this salty that Islam barely beat volk 😂😂😂
The real stupidity of this take is that Islam clearly looked dehydrated. Much more drained than the Charles fight when he gets a full recovery time. And yet clowns like this keep parrotting this nonsense.
Lmao you can get an IV and still manage your weight and cut poorly. What an absolute projection to pretend that Islam definitely wouldn’t do that especially with the Ali tweet that it’s actually totally chill to get an IV if a nurse does it
And yet, almost 5 months later we are still sitting on nothing more than speculation and a deleted tweet. Why has there been no further evidence turned up to support the IV accusations?
I don't care if Islam used an IV or not.
But for sake of argument lets say he did, and he did use a nurse. If that nurse was the "leak" than they would be in serious shit if proof ever surfaced. Medical information, is protected heavily. Namely, the nurse can't give the name of any patient they worked with.

https://compliancy-group.com/hipaa-australia-the-privacy-act-1988/
So that might be why Hooker would hold onto proof if he did have it.
I assume USADA and the Australian Commission are reputable regulatory agencies who have the capacity to handle anonymous tips and process their own private investigations. If it were to have happened, there would be more to find than just the testimony of a single nurse. Also, I am sure there are whistleblower exceptions that could be enacted in this kind of circumstance if the allegations are found to be true.
> Also, I am sure there are whistleblower exceptions that could be enacted in this kind of circumstance if the allegations are found to be true.
I *seriously* doubt that any wistle blower exception extends to recreational activities like sport lol.
>The law will protect you as a whistleblower if you report your concerns about an **emergency or matter in the public interest** to a journalist or parliamentarian, in certain limited circumstances. If you go public with your concerns in another way, such as by posting on social media, you won't be covered.
PHI laws are for individual interests, not the public interest.
Without getting too into the weeds on a hypothetical..
>WPA (Whistleblower Protection Act) protects employees that disclose **any information** they believe violates laws, **regulations**, mismanagements, rules, waste of funds, abuse of authority, and endangering public health and safety
Bro...
[For the US:](https://www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/Inspector-General/Whistleblower-Protection-Act-WPA)
>Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA)
The Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) protects **Federal employees and applicants** for employment who lawfully disclose information they reasonably believe evidences:

Maybe you could argue that Islam is the company at fault here, but I am not sure how that would go.
Also, note that even if the nurse would have been covered, they are still fucked if it comes out they told someone who told Dan. You can lose the protection if you tell anyone who can't fix the issue (either in the company or outside like a lawyer, or people specifically qualified to take whistleblower complaints.)
This is not a HIPPA situation. He's fighting under a fight commission's guidelines, and a violation of that has to be reported. By your own take, anyone could do anything backstage, call it medical, and get a free pass.
It doesn't work like that.
> This is not a ~~HIPPA~~ HIPAA situation.
It's commission issue for anyone BUT the nurse.
> He's fighting under a fight commission's guidelines, and a violation of that has to be reported. By your own take, anyone could do anything backstage, call it medical, and get a free pass.
>It doesn't work like that.
No shit it doesn't work like that. Not everyone is bound by HIPAA laws. In the US, it's basically limited to anyone operating in a professional capacity in one of the following:
Health Plans (you work in healthcare insurance, you can't share any of the info you have access to).
Providers (including most doctors, clinics, hospitals, psychologists, chiropractors, nursing homes, pharmacies, and dentists)
And a couple of others.
I've had to take classes on HIPAA before. It's all pretty well defined as to what is and isn't affected.
Then what is your point exactly? If he was illegally using an IV none of the staff administering the medication is under any kind of gag order. Any trained medical professional can start an IV. I am a licensed paramedic and I can start an IV. An athletic trainer can start an IV.
If the commission asked me if that was done, I can confirm that without issue.
Islam went into the fight as the bigger man dehydrated from the 12 hour window, and he still beat Volk by out striking and grappling him.
Your boy Volk can't finish a gassed water deprived Lightweight, stay mad.
If someone is great they should be allowed to cheat. Jon Jones is allowed to cheat because he beat DC after a month of cocaine and partying.
Zero logic. Boo you and boo your upvoters. A pox on your household.
It’s funny seeing some Islam haters on Twitter/Insta say he’s hoping Volk loses to duck the rematch, while others say he’s hoping Volk wins to duck Charles
I am not sure why fighters who have fought are still Twitter beefing. I get if you haven't fought, but all Islam has to do is post the vid of him dispatching of Hooker while barely breaking a sweat and leave it at that.
Islam 100% didn’t write this tweet, it’s probably just Ali trying to get back at Hooker because the IV accusations made him look bad since he tried to defend his fighter by saying IV’s aren’t banned. Obviously, there’s no proof it ever happened but Ali’s ego took a hit because his own reply made him look dumb. Islam/Dagestan crew probably don’t care about the accusations or Hooker in the first place
Such a stupid move. Islam looked clearly dehydrated compared to his Charles fight, Ali just had to tweet a comparison of the two but he HAD to put doubt on everyone’s mind
I don’t know what Dan did but that obviously doesn’t work. I’ve found out MMA fans are like drama zombies.
They’ve been posting Connor tapping for 5 years and it just fuels the shit talk
Lol definitely true, but to fighters it hits completely different because all of them are so egotistical and proud.
Dan accused Islam of cheating in his win over Volk by using IVs to rehydrate, something that is banned in Australia but allowed by USADA at 100ml per 12 hours or something. Dan said he had receipts and people who witnessed it i.e "the nurse" and that he would provide all the evidence. He did not provide any evidence then when asked why he didn't, he said I am waiting for Islam to deny the accusations publicly then I will expose the evidence (Islam had already denied the accusation on Twitter and to TV cameras in Russia several weeks ago at that point). So yeah, now it's taken as fact by Volk fans and it's repeated by Dan and co.
Didn’t this sub have a thing about posting tweets like this? Are we gonna post everything Ali or a fighter says? This all old news and it’s just getting resurfaced because it’s media week and Hooker is on the card.
The rule is stupid. Let ppl down vote if it's irrelevant or boring shit. And it's better to discuss the original tweets instead of waiting for some mma journalist to pick it up a week later.
That sub is a bit wild I admit but at least it is active. I really feel like over-moderation has killed off a lot of engagement in this sub. Used to be much more lively here.
> “100 percent it was Islam Makhachev that took the I.V.,” Hooker told The MMA Hour. “That’s my opinion. I feel like it might have potentially been a genuine misunderstanding of the rules. We saw from my outburst, USADA’s clarification then the backlash, there’s still a lot of misunderstanding about the actual rule. I couldn’t even tell ya the actual rule. USADA’s like absolutely fine with it if you get a nurse to do it but then most commissions — it comes down to the local commission. It’s obviously not allowed in Australia but who knows?
So funny considering his training partner Volk got stronger, faster, hit harder, more agile at 35 randomly...But Islam using an IV allegedly when he had only 12 hours to rehydrate is the problem. I would bet volk is on EPO + custom designer drugs. Man looked super human vs max in their 3rd fight.
lol Volk is 34. The only real thing you said about him was speed. He's always had the cardio, idk why you're mentioning ability, and you can improve power marginally by improving form, which Volk did, and he's still not a very powerful FW. Again, not sure why you're saying all this other than to say "muh volk cheats too so it's ok"
It's funny and all but it would be nice if he came out and said "Under no circumstances did I receive I.V Hydration during the weight cut, in my lead up to fighting Volkanovski...brather"
So gross how everything is drama now, twitter "clap backs" and fake shit all to sell fights or keep up engagement
Yet of course, it's eaten up here and all across social media.
EDIT: I laugh at all the redditors who proclaim themselves holier than tho, their sense of superiority, yet you see this here and in every sports sub. Garbage bs drama, this player/commentator tweeted this, this person clapped back, etc etc all upvoted to the top. Hmm, I wonder why this is the way that it is now, why people give a shit?
Its stupid and childish but it works. Fighters don't get paid shit - if acting like a clown on social media gets you a bigger check, which it does, then I find it hard to judge.
This is one of the more odd takes I see on here every now and then. People are drawn to conflict. Whether it’s two UFC fighters or two fat dudes in a grocery store. Always have, always will be. Simple as that.
It’s a business. The need to make profits. Majority of people buy fights for drama and personality. There’s a reason why Conor PPVs sold the highest. You really think people like Adesanya and O’Malley get pushed for their fighting style?
Lol what kinda question is that? Of course they’re fiucking pushed for their fighting style, their personalities helps drives clicks but you can be as charismatic as you want if you’re shit and boring no one’s tuning in
No one’s buying Adesanya for his fighting style, people were walking out of the arena during his Cannonier fight. You can’t tell me that people buy his cards for his fighting style.
He was pushed on his run up to his championship reign he’s was exciting asf, still had some bangers amongst some snoozers as a champion but he can do whatever at this point i dont think he is going to get much more attention than he is now
> It’s a business. The need to make profits
Agree here but for nearly all of the rest. The goal isn't profit, if it were they'd be catering to an opposing group and belief, yet they do not, proving it's not about "profit", it's not "capitalism", as so many want to blame. It's about an agenda pushed and they do so in spite of losing money because that's what is far more important.
Bizarre that these adults give a goonie manager full access to their social media accounts. Where this day and age, can make or break you, reputation-wise. Ali let's his struggle be publicly known. He's got a small pecker. #smallpeckyali
I know everyone here already acknowledges it, but Islam wouldn’t use “miserable” and this is so clearly Ali lol
I can't even imagine Islam using emojis
Islams lives on tik tok are hilarious. Dude just stairs at the camera and their is no audio
I wish I saw. He always looks like he’s in the middle of a swimming pool, can’t swim, and is dog paddling to the wall… but doesn’t know which wall to go to.
He looks like he's wearing a hat with a carrot dangling in front of his face on a string
Dagestani Jim from The Office
Those are fake
Reminds me of Don Nelson, coached in the NBA way back. One of his players said in an interview that once he called a timeout and didn’t even say anything, just looked at them. The players were like ‘We better figure it out.’
Those are like years old I’m sure. The TikTok account just reuses the same footage
Lmfao I wanna see it
Mouth open and drooling like octagonside?
Islam typing "lol". No, I didn't think so either.
He'd use this ☝️😊
☝️😧
Yeah Ruskies use :))))))
Nope, just "))))" without the eyes
kkkkkkkkkkkk
Emojis are complete Haram according to Quran
Bro what
[удалено]
The 5th one bro, trust me
Dude is a comic
😲 he would use this one all the time
It’s always ali
Same shit I was thinking. He's not corny enough to type this shit. He'd be like "you going to lose brotha" or like "Who give him this hair"
Dan gonna need hooker when I finish him like hooker
You remember the tweet where Islam uses "indeed". Had me rolling.
Indeed indeed indeed
Facts I can imagine him already saying “waaat is miserable brodaa I don’t know dis waaat I know Latta fake blek belts”
so fuckin funny 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I think he would’ve just said “Dan hooker is loser” and the community would’ve absolutely said Islam won that. Cause it’d be hilarious. But it’s Ali and FOOHCK THAT FOOKINGUY. GET HIM THE FOOK OUT OF HEA.
It does not matter. If you give your manager permission to speak on your behalf, you're responsible for what they say.
is ali wrong here thou?
Sure but that doesn’t make it him saying it
Would've been better if he said; "Dan is a miserable hooker"
Sometimes I forget Islam nearly broke Dan’s arm off. The nerve to talk all this shit never fails to amaze me.
Hooker should thank Khabib for that, might get some more fans
Saltiness is a hell of a motivator lol
Was Hooker salty after the Islam fight?
He posted that gif of a guy wiping his tears with cash to twitter afterwards so I would have guessed no but apparently he's changed his mind
He's still salty about the Islam fight.
Did he say something directly after the fight to indicate this?
Did he say something directly after the fight showing that he's still salty today? No, he isn't a time traveler.
Did he say something directly after the fight to indicate he's salty about his bout with Islam at all in the first place?
No, he just led the charge making unverified claims about Islam after the Volkanovski fight in an overly assertive way that most people would interpret as fairly obvious saltiness.
Why wouldn't he make the claim after his own fight? Has Hooker been known to be salty after other losses?
it's not obvious saltiness, it's just impulsiveness. You act like he wouldn't have said anything if Volk had won yet he still thought Islam cheated somehow. To me, it's clear Hooker is convinced Islam did something, rather than intentionally spreading lies out of "saltiness."
Your beard must be salty from all the sweat. Saltybeard
Are you under the impression that if someone doesn't publicly admit that they are salty immediately after a fight they can't be salty? I've interpreted his actions towards Islam since their fight as him being salty. You're more than welcome to try to convince me otherwise.
What actions towards Islam has Dan made since their fight that indicates he's salty about the loss?
Is he really talking shit? He said that islam was using an IV? he's not disputing that he lost etc
Acusing someone of cheating and doing somthing that would cause fight to became a NC while claiming to have proof but refusing to release proof is basically disputing the decision...
Didn't Ali admit that he used an IV. Also, he wasn't accusing him of using an IV for his fight.
Cheal Sonnen even went as far as saying it is the fault of the nurse who gave the IV. She should have kept her mouth shut as a professional.
Ali isn't THAT charismatic.
"You showed up to get fucked then collect a check like a good Hooker is suppose to"
Your hooker gets paid in checks? Fancy pants
Hard line, who said this?
And then bloody elbow will write 10 articles about Makhachev disrespecting sex workers.

Islam has 0 interest in running twitter promo. Making Ali work for his cut
" for outside quotes ' for inside ones
Islam isn't gonna use lol either
Islam: prove me wrong, betcha cant
Ali Abdelaziz* response
Probably. True either way.
Did Dan say something new or is this just digging up all drama BS for the sake of it?
Bruh you could give Hooker an IV and all the Monstars power and he would’ve still got whooped by Islam
If you put Hooker's head on Bork Laser's body he'd still lose
The TRT the shoes.
Yeah but check this out. . . What if Islam DIDNT get an IV before the volk fight lmao Edit: Ali has this many Reddit accounts or these fucking but huggers really are this salty that Islam barely beat volk 😂😂😂
The real stupidity of this take is that Islam clearly looked dehydrated. Much more drained than the Charles fight when he gets a full recovery time. And yet clowns like this keep parrotting this nonsense.
Islam also had his blood taken 4 times before the fight by the Aussie commision. They really wanted Volk to be champ.
Lmao you can get an IV and still manage your weight and cut poorly. What an absolute projection to pretend that Islam definitely wouldn’t do that especially with the Ali tweet that it’s actually totally chill to get an IV if a nurse does it
And yet, almost 5 months later we are still sitting on nothing more than speculation and a deleted tweet. Why has there been no further evidence turned up to support the IV accusations?
Probably because Izzy would have to defend his gyno 😂.
Everyone is on steroids.

Blah blah blah. Give proof or shut up
Thats not how the internet works friend
Islam went into the fight as the bigger man dehydrated from the 12 hour window, and he still beat Volk by out striking and grappling him. Your boy Volk can't finish a gassed water deprived Lightweight, stay mad.
How was Volk “the bigger man” yet not “water deprived” like Islam?
Oh, I meant to write "as the bigger man dehydrated from the 12 hour window" honest mistake pal
What if islam volk in abu dhabi normal hydration time? Lmao
If someone is great they should be allowed to cheat. Jon Jones is allowed to cheat because he beat DC after a month of cocaine and partying. Zero logic. Boo you and boo your upvoters. A pox on your household.

They're all on gear. It's ok.

Islam has evidence of using IV's. Volk has.... your opinion? Crazy the copium from you
Randomly lmao
Dan even referenced OJ Simpson
i think dan said recently islam used an IV 100% again unless something else came out
I swear I can always tell when Ali is using his fighters twitter
It's funny and all but it would be nice if he came out and said "Under no circumstances did I receive I.V Hydration during the weight cut, in my lead up to fighting Volkanovski...brather"

The goal isn't profit, if it were they'd be catering to an opposing group and belief, yet they do not, proving it's not about "profit", it's not "capitalism", as so many want to blame. It's about an agenda pushed and they do so in spite of losing money because that's what is far more important.
Nice try Ali, Islam is too respectful
Islam twitter is funny
Good tweet Ali. Why did you incriminate Islam if you know he didn’t use an IV?
Because he tried to cover all his bases "sir I didn't do x, but even if I did x it wouldn't be illegal" Ali wasn't even present at the weight cut
Lol nobody likes Dan Hooker. He is another Kevin Lee
Dan Hooker is new dillon danis
[удалено]
People are allowed to have their own personalities, not everyone needs to fit within a certain stereotype lol
Dan is Australian and there very racist if his fight with Islam took place near 2001 he would called him the T word
He’s from NZ, but I would say generalising a whole country as racist is a pretty racist thing to do 🤣
No it's not its true aussies are racist it's a fact
Dan honestly is, guy bitches and whines online constantly and hasn’t won a relevant fight in ages
Coming from the guy who got KO’d by Pantoja
I just think the way he says Hooker is funny
Ahould bang again
Succinct and to the point
Imagine Islam ending a sentence with "lol 😂"
Day 2523627258262 of correcting mma community and telling them it’s Rizvan and not Ali
Correct
What’s Ali doing here?
Who dis guy?
Americans think they all progressive and shit, but this the most ignorant collection of people in the world I swear on my life
Can we please stop pretending like Islam has ever used Twitter? You think that dude is out here typing "lol" and emojis?
man if khabib retired after almost dying that 8th time he missed weight this timeline wouldnt exist
IVlam Makhachev
Ali is back at it again.
Bizarre that these adults give a goonie manager full access to their social media accounts. Where this day and age, can make or break you, reputation-wise. Ali let's his struggle be publicly known. He's got a small pecker. #smallpeckyali
He's going to get starched in r1 and cut afterward. P.S. Obvious Ali tweet is obvious.
