Dan Hooker is able to kick Paddy Pimblett’s head in, whether or not it’s on the road or within the Octagon.
Whereas Pimblett is coming off his first title battle at UFC 324, it’s his quick-brewing rivalry with the ‘Hangman’ that has largely dominated headlines.
“He’s been chiming sh*t at me, and I say issues again,” Hooker advised Ariel Helwani. “He says I’m canine sh*t at grappling; he thinks I’m a sh*t fighter. I believe he’s a sh*t fighter. We each communicate our minds, and who provides a sh*t. The UFC was freaking out—‘Oh, if Dan and Paddy see one another on the resort in Qatar…’ I’m like, what, cuz he mentioned I’m sh*t at jiu‑jitsu? I couldn’t give a flying f*ck if somebody mentioned I’m sh*t at jiu‑jitsu. There’s nothing private there. However sh*t has gone private, brother.
Did Paddy Pimblett Cross the road?
The pair’s rivalry seemingly began when, throughout an interview, ‘The Paddy’ claimed that “Dan Hooker couldn’t grapple a f*cking rapist off his ma” whereas addressing Hooker’s grappling expertise.
For sure, Hooker was not amused by the feedback.
“Identify a fighter in historical past that’s ever made a rape joke about somebody’s mom,” Hooker continued. “As fighters, that’s only a line that we don’t cross. You don’t discuss household. You don’t point out individuals’s wives, moms, and children. That’s on the no‑go listing. He wished a response; he received one, and from that, I wish to take this child’s head off. I simply wanted to guarantee that feeling was mutual.
“He needs to say some horrible sh*t, I’m going to say some horrible sh*t again in order that once we see one another, that feeling is mutual. It’s on sight. If anybody makes a remark like that in the direction of me, I’ll kick your head in.”
With Hooker solely sitting one spot behind Pimblett within the light-weight rankings, a scrap between the 2 would make sense. And with their ongoing feud, it could be pretty straightforward promote for the UFC.
However after the beating Justin Gaethje put on the Liverpudlian, it’s potential we received’t see Pimblett again contained in the Octagon till someday in the course of the summer season.
