Josh Hokit's rapid rise in the UFC is a testament to his skill and determination. After a quick turnaround following his victory over Curtis Blaydes, Hokit is now set to face Derrick Lewis at the White House event on June 14th. This fight marks another opportunity for Hokit to showcase his prowess and potentially move up the rankings. However, it's his recent social media exchange with Sergei Pavlovich that has sparked the most interest. Pavlovich, a top-tier heavyweight, challenged Hokit to a fight in China in August, following Hokit's upcoming bout in Washington D.C. This challenge comes after Hokit's dismissive comments about Pavlovich's recent win, calling him a 'practice dummy.' Hokit's response to Pavlovich's call-out was fiery, to say the least, and it remains to be seen if the UFC will approve this potential match-up. With his recent success and bold statements, Hokit is certainly a fighter to watch in the UFC's heavyweight division. But will he live up to the hype? Only time will tell.
