In a recent interview with The MMA Guru, Paddy Pimblett immediately started criticizing Arman Tsarukyan. While criticizing Tsarukyan, Pimblett referred to the Armenian’s most recent opponent, Dan Hooker.
Tsarukyan and Hooker fought at UFC Qatar, with the former winning the fight via submission in the second round. After that fight, although many believed the 29-year-old was next in line for the title, he was denied the opportunity and Pimblett and Justin Gaethje were announced as the next contenders to battle each other for the interim lightweight title at UFC 324.
Speaking to The MMA Guru, while addressing the claim that Justin Gaethje is “old,” Pimblett ranted about Tsarukyan’s latest opponent. ‘The Baddy’ pointed out that Hooker is only two years younger than ‘The Highlight’, but no one labeled ‘The Hangman’ as old when he fought the Armenian. Pimblett went out of line and said:
“A lot of people say Justin Gaethje is older than that kid. He’s two years older than Dan Hooker… Dan Hooker couldn’t take his mother away.”

After coming across Paddy Pimblett’s comments, Dan Hooker didn’t hold back. Via a message on X he labeled the Brit as a ‘fat b**ch’.
“It’s spot on, you fat bitch.”
Check out the post below:
‘The Hangman’ shared an old video of himself talking to Pimblett and one of his friends. Hooker captioned the post:
“Nothing was said when we were face to face. I thought we were friends but you’re not a very good friend are you @PaddyTheBaddy RIP Ricky 🕊️🪦”
Check out Dan Hooker’s post below:
Ricky, mentioned in Hooker’s X-post above, was a close friend of ‘The Baddy’ who committed suicide before Pimblett’s 2022 fight against Jordan Leavitt. The Brit learned about this tragedy five hours before his pre-fight weigh-in.
After submitting Leavitt in round 2, Pimblett dedicated his UFC London win to his late friend. He also delivered an emotional message about mental health during the octagon interview with Michael Bisping:
“There’s a stigma in this world that men can’t talk. Listen, if you’re a man and there’s a burden on your shoulders, and you think the only way you can fix it is to kill yourself, please talk to someone. Talk to someone.”
