Josh Hokit Brutally Honest On Ciryl Gane Ahead Of UFC 334 Heavyweight Title Fight
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:42Hokit connects his rapid rise from the Contender Series with his wrestling and football background.
- 3:09A brief freestyle leads into his explanation of using entertainment to grab attention.
- 6:11He compares his route to a title shot with Alex Pereira's, including the opponents along the way.
- 9:12The title's pointed warning arrives: Hokit says he intends to retaliate for illegal strikes or eye pokes.
- 10:08He says avoiding a weight cut helps him train hard and recover better.
Hokit has a warning. Ahead of his heavyweight title fight with Ciryl Gane at UFC 334, he tells FULL SEND MMA that illegal strikes or eye pokes will get the same treatment back.
That is his stated approach to the coming fight, not an account of something Gane has done in it. The interview drew about 91,000 views in nine hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos.
Wearing a pinstripe Yankees jersey and sunglasses, Hokit moves between fight preparation and the business of being noticed. He delivers a brief freestyle and compares his attention-grabbing approach to screeching on a chalkboard. But beneath the performance is a straightforward measure of success: "At the end of the day, winning is everything in this sport."
He also compares his rapid UFC path with Alex Pereira's, discussing the opposition along the way, and offers a practical heavyweight advantage: without a weight cut, he says, he can train hard and recover better.
The comments pick up both sides of that presentation. Viewers discuss his ability to sell a fight, repeat his line about courage and intelligence, and suggest a podcast pairing with rapper Riff Raff.
Gane supplies a lighter counterpoint in a separate FULL SEND MMA interview, which is also drawing an unusually large audience. He says he enjoyed Hokit's diss track and would have liked to make one himself. For his title defense at Madison Square Garden, though, Gane points to experience as his advantage.
