44 days down, 12 to go. Going through the comments from fans and fellow fighters on social media, you can tell that this photo really hit hard for many people the realities of the sacrifices families must take during COVID-19. Not seeing someone’s family for two months is hard. It might be even harder for Hooker that he can actually see his wife and child but he can’t touch them. This is actually the second time Hooker has gone through a long quarantine period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last June, Hooker lost a unanimous decision to Dustin Poirier in a “Fight of the Year” candidate. When he traveled home after the fight, he was subject to a similar quarantine period. However, the sacrifice was a risk worth taking for the Hooker family in order for him to try and take a shot at the top of the lightweight division. Despite falling to Poirier and Chandler, Hooker is still one of the top-10 lightweights in the UFC.
