Josh Hokit says Alexander Volkov will never get his chance,
mocks heavyweight résumé
Volkov considers Hokit an easy matchup and predicts that Gane will
defeat the unbeaten contender. In response, Hokit compared their
records, noting that he defeated Derrick
Lewis and Curtis
Blaydes, both of whom beat Volkov.
“Drago” has won consecutive decisions over Jailton
Almeida and Waldo
Cortes-Acosta and is scheduled to face Rizvan
Kuniev at
UFC 333 on Oct. 24 in Abu Dhabi. Hokit added that Blaydes
defeated both Almeida and Kuniev. “The Incredible Hok” claims he
will already be dominating the light heavyweight division by the
time Volkov earns a fight with him.
“Volkov saying he’d beat me easy is funny… He’ll never get the
chance,” Hokit wrote on X. “I just beat Blaydes and Lewis. Volkov
lost to BOTH. Now he’s fighting Kuniev (who Blaydes beat), after
squeaking by Almeida (who Blaydes dominated). I’m going to kill
Ciryl, who he lost to twice. Zero finishes, pure boring. By the
time you earn a fight with me, I’ll already be dominating LH.”
