Josh Hokit is ranked #4 at UFC heavyweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The game is built on grappling: 3.7 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 3 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Derrick Lewis, KO/TKO (Punches) R2. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
