The controversial Josh Hokit is scheduled to fight at UFC Casa Branca , but his focus is far from his current opponent. At the historic event taking place this Sunday (14), in Washington (USA), the bad boy faces Derrick Lewis , but ignores him and turns his attention to Alex Poatan , who is fighting for the interim heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg) against Ciryl Gane . Determined to get under the Brazilian's skin, 'The Incredible Hok' launched new and not-so-light attacks.

During the event's 'media day', Hokit, known for his hostile trash talk, provoked the UFC star by insulting him. Confident and sure that he will easily defeat 'The Black Beast' at UFC Casa Branca , the loudmouth guaranteed that he will face Poatan, whether the latter wants the fight or not. It's worth noting that the American, whenever possible, attacks the renowned striker in an attempt to lure him into a confrontation.

However, to the bad boy's misfortune, Poatan constantly downplays his importance in the UFC. Aware that the Brazilian doesn't see him as a worthy opponent, Hokit, in the role of hunter, takes advantage of the situation and emphasizes that he is behaving like a defenseless animal before being devoured.

“It’s inevitable. We’re going to fight one day. I know he knows it. Alex and his BBL (butt augmentation surgery) can go to hell. I’m the lion and he’s the fragile gazelle. I’m going to beat him until he swells up. I’m going to put his head in the microwave. It’s going to smell like pizza. Crispy Crab Pizza is the perfect pizza for you and me,” said the bad boy.
