As we know, Paddy Pimblett and Dan Hooker are not big fans of each other. In fact, they’ve thrown some pretty personal shots at each other in interviews and on social media in recent weeks. Unfortunately, neither of them has been able to get the win they’ve been looking for lately in the cage.

Pimblett took a beating from Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 324, and over the weekend Hooker was finished by Benoit Saint Denis. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of talk now about the two potentially clashing in a true grudge match for the ages.
In a recent video, Pimblett gave his own thoughts on losing Hooker to BSD.

“Good bit – nice to see Dan get a TKO after the sh*t he was chatting,” Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. “He probably liked that I lost last week. That was probably a generational hate watch. But I never came.”
“I really like Benoit Saint Denis,” Pimblett said. “I think he’s a really nice guy. I like this fighting style. He comes out banging. I really like Saint Denis. I hope he does well, but if he’s next for me, he’s done.”
