For Hooper, fatherhood has brought a new sense of clarity. The focus has moved from personal ambition to family responsibility. Providing for Ellie and Anna is now at the core of why he steps into the cage.

Anna, a certified personal trainer and purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has been a steady presence in Hooper’s corner for years. She has a solid understanding of the sport and its demands.

She’s part of the support system that keeps Hooper grounded during training camps and recovery phases. The two met during his early career, and their relationship has grown alongside his rise in the UFC.

Their daily life is low-profile but structured with long training days. However, Hooper makes time for family mornings, walks with Ellie, and downtime when possible. The couple celebrated their daughter’s first birthday in June 2025, just two months before UFC 319.

It has been a milestone year, both professionally and personally, for Hooper. That stability has translated into sharper focus in camp and a more balanced mindset heading into fights.


When Chase Hooper started feeling like the old guy

At 25, Chase Hooper is still one of the younger names on the UFC roster, but after nearly a decade in the sport, he’s starting to feel the mileage. Following his win over Jim Miller at UFC 314, Hooper admitted he’s no longer the teenage prospect coming in wide-eyed.

He began fighting at 16, joined the UFC through the Contender Series, and has now fought seasoned veterans like Miller. Training with younger teammates, many still in their teens or early twenties, has made Hooper more aware of the time he’s spent in the game. Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Hooper said:

“I feel like I’ve been in this business for a while. I started fighting at 16. 9 years later here we are. I do feel old, I do feel beat up a little bit, but that’s the business... I feel like more the outside commentators they like to bag on the UFC, but honestly this company’s given me everything. When I fought on the Contender Series I had like $34 bucks in my bank account."

He added:

“Now I have a wife, a baby, a house. This is providing. These couple times a year fighting I’m able to provide for my wife and daughter. I’m doing it for them now. It’s having a purpose and it’s gone from where it started out like ego and paying the bills to now doing it for them. Feels good. Feels like things are going the way they should. You don’t get the storybook thing very often in life, but I feel like we’re here.”
