The UFC 334 broadcast team is set, with Joe Rogan on commentary for Josh Hokit's first title fight. The card's commentary lineup has been finalized ahead of the event.
Joe Rogan will be on commentary for UFC 334 this Saturday, November 14, where Josh Hokit steps into his first title fight, MMA Junkie reported. The broadcast lineup for the card has been finalized.
Hokit enters the biggest fight of his career unbeaten. The 28-year-old heavyweight is 10-0-0 and ranked fourth in the division. Nicknamed "The Incredible Hok," he fights out of an orthodox stance and stands six-foot-one with a 73-inch reach.
His recent form helps explain the title shot. In his most recent recorded fight, on June 14 at UFC Freedom 250, Hokit stopped Derrick Lewis by KO/TKO in the second round. Before that, he took a unanimous decision over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 on April 11, and he knocked out Denzel Freeman in the first round at UFC 324 on January 24. That is three straight wins in 2026, two of them finishes.
The numbers show an aggressive, high-output heavyweight. Hokit lands 9.29 significant strikes per minute at 64 percent accuracy, an unusual combination of volume and precision in a division where fighters often trade in bursts. He also averages 3.73 takedown attempts per 15 minutes and 0.4 submission attempts, which points to a fighter who mixes wrestling with his striking.
Why it matters
- Hokit is attempting to move from fourth-ranked contender to heavyweight title challenger without a recorded loss.
- His recent run includes a win over Blaydes, a durable wrestler, and a second-round stoppage of Lewis, a longtime heavyweight knockout threat.
- His takedown rate of nearly four per 15 minutes gives him a grappling dimension beyond his striking output.
Rogan has been a fixture of UFC commentary for years, and his presence on the call adds weight to a card headlined by a debut title challenger.
