“Good luck this weekend, Alex!” the Russian fighter wrote on the social network.
“Dan Hooker is a pathetic loser, lol,” Makhachev added.
The day before, Hooker said that he did not regret the words spoken about Makhachev, whom he accused of violating the UFC anti-doping policy after the fight with Volkanovski.
Recall that on July 8 at UFC 290 in Las Vegas, Dan Hooker will meet with American Jalyn Turner, and Alex Volkanovski, who owns the current UFC featherweight title, will go to the unification fight with Yair Rodriguez in the main event of the numbered event.
In a pre-match interview, the Australian said that in the event of a victory over the Mexican, he expects to get revenge with the Russian, to whom he lost by unanimous decision at UFC 284 in Perth in February of this year.
