Hooper began his amateur MMA career while he was still attending Enumclaw High School. On the regional circuit of Washington, Hooper compiled an undefeated 5–0 record with four stoppage wins before making his professional debut on October 7, 2017, against Edson Penado. Hooper won the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the first round utilizing his heavy skills in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, in which he's a juvenile Pan American champion as a blue belt.

Hooper competed at Dana White's Contender Series 14 against Canaan Kawaihae. He won the fight via unanimous decision and was awarded a development league contract.

He competed in three more fights (winning two of them and the other one ending in a draw) in notable minor promotions such as CFFC and Titan FC before being signed by the UFC.

Hooper faced Alex Caceres on June 6, 2020, at UFC 250. He lost the fight via unanimous decision, marking his first professional defeat.

Hooper faced Peter Barrett at UFC 256 on December 12, 2020. He earned a comeback win in the third round via heel hook submission.
