UFC lightweight Dan Hooker blasted middleweight Paulo Costa over his giant weight miss, saying “that is just a massive ‘F you’ to the fans.”<\/p>\n

Costa was set to fight Marvin Vettori in a middleweight bout that served as the main event of UFC Vegas 41, but Costa showed up heavy to fight week. Because he couldn’t make the 185lbs limit, the fight was then moved to a 195lbs catchweight, and then to the 205lbs light heavyweight limit. Costa was fined 30% of his purse and the fight went on at 205<\/a>, with Vettori winning a unanimous decision in a back-and-forth fight.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Submission Radio<\/a> in a recent interview, Hooker blasted Costa for his unprofessionalism in missing weight, calling it disrespectful to the fans and to MMA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Costa did, he didn\u2019t earn the right to do that. It was a funny situation because it was only what, a couple of weeks ago that we let Nick Diaz roll up and do it. But Paulo Costa hadn\u2019t done for the sport what Nick Diaz had done, but obviously same result, he got the weight class changed entirely. So I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s kind of funny, like a bit of a power play. But it\u2019s not for me, it\u2019s not like the Anzac culture of the sport,” Hooker said (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cThat would never happen, something like that in New Zealand or Australia. I feel like if you just showed up to a local kickboxing show with your fighter 10 kilos (approx. 22 pounds) overweight and you were like, \u2018What are you gonna do about it?\u2019 I feel like you\u2019d get beaten up in the car park. It\u2019s just a sign of respect. That\u2019s all it is. It\u2019s a matter of respect. I show up on weight as a respect for my opponent, as a respect for my gym, as a respect for representing who I represent,” continued Hooker. “It\u2019s a sign of respect to the fans, it\u2019s a sign of respect to the promotion. It\u2019s absolutely everything. So it absolutely is what it is. Him coming out like that is just a massive \u2018F you\u2019 to the fans, \u2018F you\u2019 to the UFC, \u2018F you\u2019 to his opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n
