Snubbed Paulo Costa 'pissed off' about Josh Hokit's two UFC 327 bonuses

Paulo Costa doesn't understand how Josh Hokit left UFC 327 with two bonuses and him none.

Costa (16-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) handed Azamat Murzakanov his first-career loss when he won by TKO at UFC 327 in Miami. On the same night, Hokit outlasted Curtis Blaydes in a thrilling battle, which earned him both the Performance and Fight of the Night bonuses.

Costa is angry to walk away with nothing after stopping Murzakanov, whereas Hokit (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) left Miami $200,000 richer after going the distance with Blaydes.

"I was pissed off at them (UFC) because of the bonus," Costa said on "The Ariel Helwani Show." "I really think I deserved that bonus. It's $100K. I don't think Hokit deserved two bonuses. When I feel injustice and unfair, this triggers inside me the worst feelings in my mind and my heart. I become crazy, I want to smash. I texted them about that. I hope and trust that Dana and Hunter are going to take care of me.

"They're going to rethink that. I think they made a mistake not giving me the bonus, but I am confident they are fair and they're going to fix this in a good way, and we're going to be good. I performed amazingly, man. Dana told me. I saw him on the walk back, and he said, 'You beat a 16-0 Russian, he was very confident, you did amazing, incredible.' So, he liked the performance. He knows that. Trump loved my fight."

Hokit fired back at Costa for his complaints.

"N word please… even with 2 bonuses he probably still made more than me lol I took a big risk but now I’m gonna reap the reward with my next contract."

"1) you want to smash? Watchu like? I like women… 2) “You did amazing… INCREDIBLE” … great word play by Dana and HunterThey played yo a**."
