Paulo Costa and Josh Hokit trade shots on social media
TL;DR
Paulo Costa and Josh Hokit engaged in a heated exchange on social media following their recent UFC fights. Costa accused Hokit of taking a bonus that he felt was rightfully his, while Hokit responded with playful insults and accepted a challenge for a future fight.
UFC 327 last Saturday was heavyweight Josh Hokit's coming out party. He garnered attention with his media antics leading up to the event and then put on a performance that won't soon be forgotten. Unranked Hokit faced No. 5 ranked Curtis Blaydes in a main card matchup and was part of what some are calling the greatest heavyweight bout of all time. He defeated Blaydes via unanimous decision and banked two performance-based bonuses totaling $200,000. In the fight card's co-main event, former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa handed No. 6 ranked Azamat Murzakanov his first career loss. It was Costa's return to the 205-pound weight class and he scored a head kick finish. According to Costa, Hokit received a bonus that should have went to him. "Hey Josh Hokit you got my BONUS MTFK , I gonna fuc u up next time ur fucking bum," Costa posted on X.
