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