Josh Hockit's brawling approach and middle-finger antics helped him defeat Curtis Blaydes, but the strategy of rushing forward resulted in him absorbing many strikes. While he has improved his striking power and maintained it through three rounds, his tendency to charge in recklessly could lead to knockout losses against elite strikers like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. Hockit demonstrated solid takedown defense against Blaydes and showed improved striking variety, including effective elbow work in the third round. His behavior aligns well with Dana White and Donald Trump's preferences, and his next fight against Derrick Lewis is anticipated, though Lewis may approach it cautiously to avoid damage.
