Pereira Brushes Off Hokit in Hotel Run-In, Keeping UFC Feud Alive

With Pereira challenging Ciryl Gane for an interim heavyweight title and Hokit battling Derrick Lewis, a Pereira–Hokit bout remains unlikely for now, though a future matchup isn’t ruled out if both win.

Mullin criticized O'Brien's intimidating behavior and accused him of being a "thug" and a "mob boss." He also questioned the influence of unions in politics and argued for the importance of choice in joining a union. O'Brien later called Mullin an "embarrassment to the state of Oklahoma."
