UFC 327 last Saturday was heavyweight Josh Hokit‘s coming out party. He garnered attention with his media antics leading up to the event and then put on a performance that won’t soon be forgotten.
Unranked Hokit faced No. 5 ranked Curtis Blaydes in a main card matchup and was part of what some are calling the greatest heavyweight bout of all time. He defeated Blaydes via unanimous decision and banked two performance-based bonuses totaling $200,000.

In the fight card’s co-main event, former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa handed No. 6 ranked Azamat Murzakanov his first career loss. It was Costa’s return to the 205-pound weight class and he scored a head kick finish. According to Costa, Hokit received a bonus that should have went to him.
“Hey Josh Hokit you got my BONUS MTFK , I gonna fuc u up next time ur fucking bum,” Costa posted on X.
It wasn’t long before Hokit to respond. “Fight Deez Nutz… but yes of course, I got like 20% body fat but don’t get it twisted my Incredible Hok Juice is far more superior then your Secret Juice,” he replied.

“Fat ass you owe me 100k bônus,” Costa responded.
Hokit didn’t let it end there. He responded, “Id take you down and suffocate you with this belly… and take all your women from you… they prefer a dad bod anyways…”
Costa called for the two to fight for the ‘real’ BMF. Hokit seemingly accepted the challenge. “I’ll eat your heart,” he said.
