Paulo
\nCosta<\/a> and Josh Hokit<\/a>
\nhave seemingly forged a new friendship. <\/p>\n

Hokit is making headlines in the
\nUFC<\/a> by cutting WWE-esque promos and backing it up with his
\nperformances. \u201cThe Incredible Hok\u201d recently defeated Curtis
\nBlaydes<\/a> at UFC 327<\/a>
\nto earn both \u201cPerformance of the Night\u201d and \u201cFight of the Night\u201d
\nbonuses. The same card also saw Paulo Costa<\/a>
\nfinish a previously undefeated Azamat
\nMurzakanov<\/a> in a massive upset. <\/p>\n

At President Donald Trump\u2019s insistence, Hokit was immediately
\nbooked against Derrick
\nLewis<\/a> for the
\nUFC White House<\/a> card on June 14. Costa subsequently offered to
\nreplace Lewis against Hokit. \u201cBorrachinha\u201d also accused Hokit of
\nrobbing him of a bonus at UFC 327. However, Costa has since
\nseemingly dropped the idea of fighting Hokit. Hokit recently
\ncollaborated with Costa on an Instagram post. Hokit shared a clip
\nof himself cutting a promo at the UFC 327 pre-fight press
\nconference, where Costa can be seen laughing.<\/p>\n

Did We Just Become Best Friends?<\/h2>\n

Hokit wrote: \u201cThat\u2019s it\u2026 we can never fight now\u2026 you love The
\nIncredible Hok\u2026 join The Incrediblez\u2026 come train with the greatest
\nheavyweight of all time\u2026 I\u2019ll get you a Sith Robe\u2026 we can conquer
\nthe galaxy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Costa responded: \u201cThis dude \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Hokit (9-0) has finished eight of his nine career wins, going the
\ndistance for the first time in his career against Blaydes at UFC
\n327. Meanwhile, Costa (16-4) is coming off back-to-back upset wins
\nover suring prospects. <\/p>\n
