Dan Hooker recently fired a shot at Jon Jones in light of Chael Sonnen's 5 misdemeanor battery citations on Saturday at a luxury hotel.

Jones, who was arrested for domestic violence earlier this year, recently reacted to his former rival's run-in with the law. 'Bones' said he wasn't going to celebrate Sonnen's arrest and took a holier than thou approach when he added that he and Sonnen were not alike.

Chael Sonnen, I’m not gonna sit here and celebrate you getting battery charges against a female last night. That would make me like you, and I’m nothing like you. Instead I will wish your family well, I wish the victims family well

It’s funny how the people who criticize and judge you the most have some of the nastiest things in their closet. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. You’ll get no stones from me. Good luck

However, Hooker wasn't going to allow Jones to get away with his hypocrisy. The UFC lightweight contender pointed out a huge difference between the actions of Jones and Sonnen. On Twitter, 'The Hangman' wrote:

Imagine beating up 5 people and not one of them is your wife. (JJones RN 🤯) twitter.com/middleeasy/sta…

Jones, of course, was arrested for brutalizing his fiancee Jessie Moses in front of his daughters. The former UFC light heavyweight champion has also been arrested multiple times for a number of reasons over the years.

On the flipside, details have been scarce about the alleged incident with Chael Sonnen. A witness told TMZ Sports they saw Sonnen "banging on the door of a hotel room at the Four Seasons around 7 PM Saturday night."

After the news broke, several MMA personalities came to Sonnen's defense, including Michael Bisping and Brendan Schaub, who gave out details as to what had happened.

In an episode of the Below the Belt podcast, Schaub revealed,

"Some drunk guy with his girl kept making comments about his [Sonnen’s] wife, talking about her t*ts, her a**, right in front of him."

Schaub, who claimed he got the update straight from Sonnen through a phone call, added:

"Well, play stupid games win stupid prizes. Because you’re talking and disrespecting one of the toughest guys on the planet. And definitely one of the toughest to ever compete in the UFC, or Bellator for that matter. And you’re doing it in front of his face, and there’s going to be repercussions. And any guy that wouldn’t do that for their girl, ladies, you’ve got a girlfriend."

Meanwhile, Bisping, another close friend of Sonnen, vouched for 'The American Gangster's' character. The former middleweight champ said Sonnen would not resort to violence unless he was provoked.
