Josh
Hokit has dissected Tom
Aspinall’s fighting style and sees weaknesses.
Hokit recently claimed that the problem with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king’s style is that
he’s too offensive-minded. The surging contender has grown in
popularity since his win at
UFC Freedom 250, and he now has his sights set on gold.

Josh Hokit evaluates Tom Aspinall fighting weaknesses in UFC
heavyweight division
Hokit took to X to react to a clip of Aspinall’s fight against
Alexander
Volkov in London back in 2022.
“He’s to [sic] offensive minded.. that makes things exciting until
a proper athlete is able to compete with his athleticism.. his
strength is also his weakness..”
Notably, Hokit has previously called for the UFC to cut Aspinall
from the roster, claiming that Ciryl Gane
made him “quit” when they locked horns last year.
Aspinall will likely take on interim champion Gane next in a title
unification bout, putting Hokit out of contention for the belt. The
American’s been campaigning for a fight against Alex
Pereira, whom he’s repeatedly clashed with at pressers and
fighter hotels.
Hokit beat Derrick
Lewis in his last outing, extending his UFC record to 4-0 and
10-0 overall. With his multiple characters and polarizing antics,
he’s emerged as one of the most well-known fighters in the
division.

This crybaby has lost all of his aura.
Here’s an idea @ufc . Cut Tom. Ciryl
is the undisputed champ anyways IMO. He made Tom quit. Tom’s
manager is trying to play games.
Give me Ciryl in September and when I win I will give @AlexPereiraUFC
a chance to get his self esteem back… https://t.co/QvV3ZudD7X— The Incredible Hok (@Josh_HokitUFC)
