Analysis of Curtis Blaydes versus Tom Aspinall notes that while Hokit (Aspinall) secured victory, his aggressive brawling style leaves him vulnerable to heavy hitters. Against elite strikers like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich, such reckless approaches could lead to knockout defeat. Despite absorbing many strikes, Hokit showed improved power and variety including effective elbow work in the third round, with his wrestling defense remaining strong. The analyst suggests Hokit's rebellious persona aligns perfectly with Trump and Dana White, but warns that Derrick Lewis could capitalize on this brawling style if Lewis comes to win rather than just collect a paycheck.
