UFC lightweight star Paddy Pimblett has responded to Dan Hooker as their rivalry continues to heat up.
As we know, Paddy Pimblett is quite a controversial figure in mixed martial arts. While many people love his exploits, others aren’t so thrilled with the way he’s going about things, or how the UFC has pushed him thus far. Of course, ‘The Baddy’ doesn’t seem to mind that much, and he’s now on the cusp of an interim lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje.
There are many who still believe Paddy Pimblett will lose to Gaethje, likely via knockout, while others feel Paddy has the necessary ground game (and perhaps even the striking one) to cause him some legitimate problems. Either way, he’s working towards a possible showdown against Ilia Topuria for the Undisputed Title.
But lately Paddy Pimblett has had a growing rivalry with Dan Hooker, with Dan accusing him of a mum-related joke the Liverpudlian made. Now, Pimblett has responded.
Paddy Pimblett hits back at Dan Hooker
“I thought we couldn’t be friends because I’m above you. You made a hypothetical joke about how bad your struggle is and responded by talking about my friend committing suicide? That’s the lowest of the low and right then and there I’m okay with you being real dogs*** at fighting.”
Pimblett vs Hooker is an intriguing fight, but given where both men are in their respective careers, it doesn’t seem too likely that we’ll see it. However, based on what both men say, we could very well see things taking off if they’re ever in the same room together again.
Either way, it’s not a great look for either man ā not that it’s particularly important to most fans of the sport these days.
