Josh Hoquit made controversial comments about Dan Hooker during a UFC press conference. When asked whether his flashy appearance was for show or if fans found it cringe-worthy, Hoquit responded with remarks mocking Hooker. He questioned how Hooker could like another man when, in Hoquit's words, one could go to the beach in Miami and see attractive women. The exchange took place at the official UFC press conference ahead of an upcoming event.
