Analysis of Josh Hokit's performance notes that while he successfully defeated Blaydes by maintaining his aggressive brawling style, this approach could prove problematic against elite strikers. The post suggests that against opponents like Pereira or Pavlovich, Hokit's charging attacks could lead to a knockout loss. However, the analysis credits Hokit's improved power, noting his hands remained heavy even in the third round, and praises his elbow work and takedown defense reflecting high-level training under Winkeljohn. Hokit's behavior is described as perfectly matching Trump and Dana White's preferences. Looking ahead, while Derrick Lewis shouldn't be counted out, there's concern Lewis may prioritize earning money and avoiding damage rather than pursuing victory.
