Quick read

Josh Hokit has revealed he intentionally held Derrick Lewis in an armbar to see if Lewis would panic-tap, rather than immediately seeking the submission finish. Hokit noted he already has an armbar finish on his record and felt that submitting Lewis at the White House would not have sat right with him.
