Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight Josh Hokit believes fighters are two-faced, using Paddy Pimblett as an example.

Pimblett (24-4) secured a spectacular win by putting Benoit St. Denis (17-4) to sleep in less than a minute in UFC 329’s co-headliner. The main event between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway then ended in anticlimactic fashion, with the returning Irish star suffering a leg injury in the opening sequence, leading to a victory for his Hawaiian counterpart.

Pimblett remained respectful towards McGregor in the lead-up to UFC 329, seemingly taking a backseat as the Irish superstar drew most of the attention. However, he changed his tune after watching the former two-division champion lose.

Josh Hokit says Paddy Pimblett proved exactly why he talks trash


Pimblett stole the show at UFC 329, given the unfortunate conclusion to the main event. After his bonus-winning triumph, “The Baddy” claimed McGregor is “finished” before proclaiming himself the new face of the UFC.

“Oh my god, McGregor's done already? Well, he is finished,” Pimblett said in a post-fight interview. “The new boy is in town. The main man is here. I can become the face of the organization now.”

Hokit has now called out Pimblett and fighters in general for being two-faced. “The Incredible Hok” believes fighters are respectful to each other only at their own convenience. Hokit, who has quickly risen to stardom in the UFC with his polarizing trash talk, backed up by spectacular performances, doesn’t think his antics deserve any criticism, considering how other fighters behave.

“Fighters are the most two-faced people in the world,” Hokit wrote on X. “Nothing but respect and bow downs to one another when it’s convenient… and you wonder why I do what I do.”
