Analysis of Josh Hockit's performance at UFC 327 notes that while he defeated Curtis Blaydes, his aggressive, reckless approach creates vulnerabilities. The analysis suggests such charges would lead to knockout defeats against elite strikers like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. However, positive observations include his increasing punching power, effective elbow work in the third round, and improved takedown defense under coach Winkeljohn. The piece notes Hockit's rebellious persona aligns perfectly with Trump and Dana White's preferences. A matchup with Derrick Lewis is mentioned, with concern that Lewis may prioritize earning money and avoiding damage over seeking victory.
