Despite defeating Curtis Blaydes, Josh Hokit's aggressive, brawling style that saw him absorb many strikes raises concerns about future matchups with power punchers like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. The analyst notes that while Hokit demonstrated improved striking power that lasted into the third round and showed strong takedown defense, his reckless approach matches the personalities of Trump and Dana White but could lead to devastating knockout losses. The post suggests Hokit is improving under coaches Jackson-Wink, showing versatility with elbow strikes and heavier punches. A potential fight with Derrick Lewis is mentioned, though there are doubts Lewis would come with winning intent rather than just collecting a paycheck while avoiding damage.
