Each men have made below-the-belt comments to take their feud beyond skilled rivalry.
Now, Hooker has told the world a false story about Conor McGregor confronting Paddy Pimblett.
“It’s common knowledge that he talked s— about Conor McGregor, after which Conor drove around to his house,” the UFC 325 star said. “He sat outside calling the bloke, and Paddy refused to come back outside.”
