Middleweight contender Paulo Costa has voiced his intense displeasure after not being awarded a post-fight bonus following UFC 327. Costa specifically directed his ire towards fellow fighter Josh Hokit, labeling him a “bum” and suggesting Hokit’s own performance warranted no bonus.
The Brazilian fighter, known for his powerful striking and sometimes controversial outspokenness, took to social media to vent his frustration. He implied that Hokit’s less-than-impressive showing was the reason why the coveted performance bonuses, typically given to the most exciting fights or individual displays, were distributed elsewhere. Costa believes his own effort deserved recognition and that Hokit’s presence in contention for a bonus was unwarranted.
It remains unclear if there was any direct interaction or specific reason for Costa to call out Hokit, beyond the shared context of the UFC 327 event and the bonus distribution.
