After a dominant win in his
Ultimate Fighting Championship debut, Gable
Steveson has responded to Josh Hokit’s
trash talk.

Steveson defeated Elisha
Ellison at
UFC 329, extending his professional record to 4-0 and recording
his fourth straight first-round finish. Hokit, who’s emerged as one
of the most polarizing figures in the UFC, has issued threats to
Steveson and his mentor, Jon Jones,
drawing a reaction from the Olympian.

victory

Hokit took to X to share a clip from one of Steveson’s pre-fight
interviews wherein the latter questioned the former’s skills. “The
Incredible Hok” listed his many athletic achievements before
suggesting that both Steveson and Jones steer clear of him.

“Remember, this ain’t wrestling,” Hokit wrote on X. “If anyone
signs up to face me in a fist fight, better have a good insurance
policy. It will take your doctor time to put your face back
together, unless you quit like the last guy I fought. This includes
the guy [Jon Jones] that trains you. I’m the baddest man on the planet.”

Steveson responded at the UFC 329 post-fight presser, claiming that
he and Hokit have contrasting priorities.

“Like I said, I like Josh as a fighter,” Steveson said. “Josh is a
character. Josh wants to make sure people follow him on Instagram
or follow him on Twitter. I go out there and dominate. I go out
there and win. So, if the time comes with Josh, if he doesn’t move
down before that, so be it, will make it happen.”
