“So Hokit, as far as his fighting ability, he’s definitely proven himself, that he’s well-renowned mixed martial artist,” former UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez told MMA Fighting. “He deserves what he’s getting as far as a title shot, you know? He’s fought those guys to get there. And he’s also taking the route, somewhat of a Conor McGregor, to speak in a way that creates tension.”
Hokit is currently the betting underdog.
“I think Josh is gonna surprise people on [Saturday],” Velasquez continued. “He’s complete. I think way, way more complete than Gane is. So I think Hokit, yeah, is going to surprise a lot of people with the great wrestling, great hands, as you’ve seen. When the time comes to fight in a big stage, that’s the hardest part where everybody’s watching. Where you got to go out and do it on this day in this moment. He’s proven that. I see him winning this fight.”
