Josh
Hokit says he isn’t dwelling on the possibility of fouls ahead
of his heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane
at UFC
334.

Hokit (10-0) will challenge Gane on Nov. 14 at Madison Square
Garden in New York. Asked whether he considers Gane a dirty
fighter, Hokit said he hadn’t given it much thought, then described
how he might retaliate if fouled.

Josh Hokit describes escalating hypothetical retaliation for
fouls ahead of Ciryl Gane title fight

“I mean, it doesn’t matter. I don’t even want to put too much
thought into it,” Hokit said in an interview posted by UFC on
Paramount+. “My mentality is, if he hits me in the back of the
head, I’m hitting him, I’m poking him in the eyes.”

Hokit then escalated the hypothetical beyond the fight, invoking
violence against Gane’s family.

“If he pokes me in the eye, I hit him low. He hits me low, I gotta
stab him now,” Hokit said. “He stabs me, I’m shooting him, he
shoots me. I’m finding his family, killing them. He finds my
family, kills them. I gotta go to France, I’m conquering his whole
f**king country. That’s the mentality, at least.”

Hokit is coming off a second-round TKO victory over Derrick
Lewis at
UFC Freedom 250. On the same card, Gane stopped Alex
Pereira to win the interim heavyweight title. He became
undisputed champion after Tom
Aspinall vacated the belt.
