A post-fight analysis of Josh Hockit notes he could fight more defensively to avoid absorbing so many strikes, but his aggressive brawling style matches the image he's created. The piece warns that such reckless approaches against Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich would lead to knockout defeat. Despite the wild exchanges, Hockit's power remained heavy even in the third round, and he showed improved versatility with elbow strikes. His takedown defense against Curtis Blaydes was noted as excellent, indicating high-level skills. The author suggests Hockit's deviant behavior perfectly matches the Trump-Dana White era of UFC. For the White House card against Derrick Lewis, concerns are raised that Lewis may prioritize money and avoiding damage over winning.
