Hooker reacted to the bet in his interview with Submission Radio. He expressed his sympathies for the fan before switching up and condemning him for betting against 'The Hangman'.
"Shame! They bet on Claudio! I hope, I hope that that bloke mortgaged his house. I hope that bloke, you know, financed all of his - I hope he's lost everything! That's what you get!"
The Submission Radio co-hosts joked around about the potential scenarios the fan may have landed himself in. Hooker then mentioned that he does not place his faith in such absurd bets.
He also made reference to the large sums of money Drake apparently consistently bets on UFC fights, admitting that he doesn't believe the wagers really come from the Canadian rapper.
"That's like when Drake keeps posting up and he's like, 'I put 15 million dollars on Paddy Pimblett.' And you're like, 'Did he really?! Did he really?' You know what I mean? I'm not sure, I don't potentially believe it."

After demanding a fight in Perth and issuing a general challenge to the UFC lightweight roster, Hooker signed off by planting a kiss on Rogan's bald head.
Upon being questioned in his interview with Submission Radio, Hooker spared no details in describing the experience:
"Joe Rogan's head, it was glistening. It was talking to me. It said, 'Kiss me, Dan Hooker. Kiss me.' It tasted sweet! It tasted sweet, he had the sweat. It was magical. It was like, 'Aah.' It was one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life, if I'm not gonna lie, if I'm being honest. That's a good-smelling man! That was a good-smelling man, well taken care of head. Not smelly at all. Delicious."
