Paddy Pimblett has given his thoughts on Dan Hooker’s loss at the hands of Benoit Saint Denis last weekend.
As we know, Paddy Pimblett and Dan Hooker aren’t big fans of one another. In fact, in the last couple of weeks, they’ve been throwing some pretty personal shots at each other in interviews and on social media. Unfortunately, in the cage, neither has been able to pick up the win they’ve been looking for recently.

Pimblett suffered a beating at the hands of Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 324, and then over the weekend, Hooker was finished by Benoit Saint Denis. As you can imagine, there’s now a lot of talk about the two possibly colliding in a real grudge match for the ages.
In a recent video, Pimblett gave his own thoughts on Hooker’s loss to BSD.

“Good scrap – nice to see Dan get TKO’d after the sh*t he was chatting,” Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. “He probably enjoyed me losing last week. That was probably a generational hate watch. I never got finished, though.”
“I really like Benoit Saint Denis,” Pimblett said. “I think he’s a proper nice fella. I like this fighting style. He comes to bang. I proper like Saint Denis. I hope he does well, but obviously if he’s next for me, he’s getting finished.”
