Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight Josh Hokit
believes fighters are two-faced, using Paddy
Pimblett as an example.

Pimblett (24-4) secured a spectacular win by putting Benoit St.
Denis (17-4) to sleep in less than a minute in
UFC 329's co-headliner. The main event between Conor
McGregor and Max
Holloway then ended in anticlimactic fashion, with the
returning Irish star suffering a leg injury in the opening
sequence, leading to a victory for his Hawaiian counterpart.

Pimblett remained respectful towards McGregor in the lead-up to UFC
329, seemingly taking a backseat as the Irish superstar drew most
of the attention. However, he changed his tune after watching the
former two-division champion lose.

Josh Hokit says Paddy Pimblett proved exactly why he talks
trash

Pimblett stole the show at UFC 329, given the unfortunate
conclusion to the main event. After his bonus-winning triumph, “The
Baddy†claimed McGregor is “finished†before proclaiming himself
the new face of the UFC.

“Oh my god, McGregor’s done already? Well, he is finished,â€
Pimblett said in a post-fight interview. “The new boy is in town.
The main man is here. I can become the face of the organization
now.â€

Hokit has now called out Pimblett and fighters in general for being
two-faced. “The Incredible Hok†believes fighters are respectful to
each other only at their own convenience. Hokit, who has quickly
risen to stardom in the UFC with his polarizing trash talk, backed
up by spectacular performances, doesn't think his antics deserve
any criticism, considering how other fighters behave.

“Fighters are the most two-faced people in the world,†Hokit wrote
on X. “Nothing but respect and bow downs to one another when it's
convenient… and you wonder why I do what I do.â€

Video: Sean King slams Raul Rosas’ brother unconscious at Noche UFC

Sean King III just made a statement in his UFC debut.

On Saturday, King stepped up on nine days' notice to take on Jessie Rosas — the elder brother of Raul Rosas — in a preliminary bout at Noche UFC, and things couldn't have gone much better for the undefeated “King of New Orleans.â€

Just 30 seconds into the fight, King ducked under a left hand from Rosas right into a takedown attempt, and as Rosas tried to defend, King hoisted him in the air and slammed him viciously down to the mat, knocking Rosas out cold. King pounced with some brutal ground-and-pound on the unconscious Rosas before the referee intervened, calling the bout off just 36 seconds into the first round.

The win moves the 22-year-old King to 7-0 in his professional career with five finishes. For a young man who turned professional last year, King's future looks bright.

Check out King's savage highlight below.

Video: Gordon Ryan involved in huge brawl at ADCC: ‘Thanks to the Kazakh guys for the scrap’

“Here's my perspective of what just transpired, when it was transpiring.

“So, obviously, I'm coaching Dominick — I have no idea what's going on, I'm just coaching Dominick, and Dorian and the Kazakh kid are competing. They get into whatever scuffle or argument, whatever the case is, I don't know. I don't know what's going on, but I do know that it's just John, Mike, and Dorian. John and Mike are in their 50s, 60s. So it's just the three of them and like 15 Kazakh guys.

“So this is all happening, and I'm like, for sure when this match is over there's going to be a fight. 100 percent. So I angle my chair toward their mat while I'm still coaching Dominick. The match ends, the fight starts, so I'm like, OK, we're going to have a fight. Like 15 Kazakh dudes jump John, Mike, and Dorian. So I jump in, I crack the first guy, the second that one of them sees me, a couple of them start yelling, ‘Gordon, Gordon, Gordon!' So they all turn towards me because they realized I was there.

“They immediately tackled me, two guys grabbed my legs and pushed me over so I just fell over. Then like five or six of them started hitting me in the head. A couple guys are soccer kicking me, a couple guys are punching me, but I still managed to heist back up to me knees. Even though there were between four and six of them … on top of me, I still heisted up and started coming up to a single-leg. Then the fight got broken up. I stood up, I was like, ‘Cool, fight's done. Everybody's cool.' So I just ran back, sat down, started coaching Dominick.

“So, thanks to the Kazakh guys for the scrap. That was fun. And always remember, I'm fight of the night, every night.â€
