Josh Hokit, Paulo Costa have altercation at UFC 328

Josh Hokit and Paulo Costa have seemingly not buried the hatchet. Hokit (9-0) and Costa (16-4) were both in attendance at UFC 328 on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Things got heated between the two as they came head-to-head.

However, security personnel intervened before things could escalate. Hokit has been attracting the attention of many, including Costa, with his unabashed trash talk. Both fighters fought on the UFC 327 card last month.

While Hokit defeated Curtis Blaydes in the “Fight of the Night,” Costa handed Azamat Murzakanov his first professional loss. Hokit was immediately booked against Derrick Lewis for UFC White House on June 14. However, Costa subsequently offered to replace Lewis against Hokit.

Hokit and Lewis appeared to have briefly resolved their beef as they shared a laugh over an Instagram post. While the rivalry has seemingly not settled, it doesn’t seem there are any serious hard feelings between the two.
