Josh Hokit calls Paddy Pimblett ‘two faced’ for his response to Conor McGregor’s UFC 329 injury

Josh Hokit isn’t a fan of the best way Paddy Pimblett reacted to Conor McGregor’s UFC 329 injury.

On Saturday night after months of anticipation, Conor McGregor finally returned to the cage after over five years when he took on Max Holloway within the UFC 329 fundamental event.

Despite the eager anticipation, the Irishman suffered a brutal knee injury within the opening seconds, which rendered him unable to proceed as Holloway was awarded the win.

And within the midst of the response from the MMA world, UFC 329 star Paddy Pimblett declared himself the brand new face of the UFC in his response to McGregor’s injury.

What’s next for Conor McGregor after UFC 329?

‘Notorious’ suffered a serious knee injury moments into his comeback fight against Max Holloway.

Josh Hokit not a fan of how Pimblett reacted to McGregor’s injury

Throughout fight week, ‘The Baddy’ was extremely open regarding how much of a fan of McGregor he has been throughout his profession, in addition to been honored to share a card with him.

The 31-year-old went on to attain an especially dominant win over Benoit Saint-Denis, choking him unconscious in under a minute.

And following that, he witnessed McGregor’s injury while backstage, showing no sympathy for his peer following his devastating injury.

That’s something that hasn’t sat well with fellow UFC star, Josh Hokit, who has labeled Pimblett ‘two faced’ for his response to McGregor’s loss.

“Fighters are essentially the most two faced people on the earth… Nothing but respect and bow downs to at least one one other when it’s convenient… And also you wonder why I do what I do,” Hokit wrote on X.

Despite that, within the post-fight press conference, Pimblett seemingly modified his tune, stating that he ‘feels bad’ for McGregor.

“It was sad to see but that’s the thing with this sport, you’ve got to remain consistent, you’ve got to maintain fighting and I believe where he hasn’t fought in so long, his body couldn’t sustain with it. Coming out and throwing a crazy kick like that very first thing… I feel bad for him he’s put a lot into coming back… Got to feel for him.”

Pimblett was willing to fight the Irishman next if he was capable of beat Holloway, nonetheless, that fight is now dead and buried with it unknown whether McGregor will ever return again.
