Garcia Accuses Haney Of Smoking Hookah

The Garcia-Haney feud has now reached another level.

The latest exchange began when Garcia praised Dana White's early work with the promotion Zuffa. Haney responded with a shot at Garcia's physical presentation: "Ryan back doing that twitch with his face again," he posted.

Garcia's response escalated quickly and took a specific direction: "Devin just claimed I'm on some type of bender. My dude, you smoke hookah. You are destroying your lungs. You about to get ran over by Keyshawn for all the smoking in those lungs. I got solid proof he smokes hookah as well. So he can't deny this claim. He wants to push the narrative like I'm not some professional while hiding behind his hand, knowing he has vices he's hiding. Nah, sorry. I'm not his friend or his buddy. F--- him,” Garcia

The hookah accusation is the latest weapon in a rivalry that has been producing ammunition at a consistent pace since their April 2024 fight was changed to a no-contest after Garcia tested positive for ostarine.

Garcia's prediction that the hookah habit will cost Haney in his WBO mandatory defence against Keyshawn Davis adds a competitive dimension to what would otherwise be a straightforward trolling post. Davis became the mandatory challenger after moving up to welterweight, and the WBO purse bid is scheduled for July 27.

The feud between Garcia and Haney has never lacked for content since their fight ended in controversy. Garcia is convinced he won the fight legitimately. Haney has never accepted that. Neither man appears close to making that rematch.
