An analysis of Josh Hoquette's recent victory over Curtis Blaydes highlights both strengths and concerns. While Hoquette can fight more defensively to avoid taking damage, his aggressive persona requires him to engage in brawls, which could lead to knockout losses against Pereira or Pavlovich. Despite absorbing many strikes, Hoquette demonstrated heavier hands that didn't turn to pillows even in the third round, along with effective elbow work and excellent takedown defense. His deviant behavior aligns perfectly with Trump and Dana White, especially with the performance occurring before Trump in attendance. The post suggests that while a matchup with Derrick Lewis shouldn't be dismissed given Hoquette's reckless style, Lewis may enter primarily seeking a payday rather than victory.
