Analysis of Josh Hockit's victory over Curtis Blaydes highlights both strengths and weaknesses. While Hockit secured the win, he absorbed too many strikes, which could prove fatal against knockout artists like Pereira or Pavlovich. His striking power remains impressive even into the third round of a grueling fight, and he demonstrated excellent takedown defense against Blaydes' wrestling attempts. Hockit's deviant behavior and middle-finger antics align perfectly with Trump and Dana White's preferences, especially with Trump sitting ringside. A potential matchup with Derrick Lewis is discussed, though concerns exist that Lewis may prioritize money over victory given Hockit's reckless fighting style.
