Bad boy Josh Hokit continues to cause trouble in the world's largest MMA organization. Now, at UFC White House , an event held this Sunday (14), in Washington (USA), the athlete claimed another victim and it wasn't just any victim. A sensation in the heavyweight division (up to 120 kg), 'The Incredible Hok' delivered a beating to Derrick Lewis , the company's all-time leading knockout artist, and knocked him out in the second round.
With four wins in the UFC and growing popularity, the controversial Hokit is getting closer to a title shot in the division. It's worth noting that he's already ranked fifth and, whenever possible, he takes aim at Alex Poatan . But don't be fooled by the American. Despite his flamboyant image, the bad boy is a skilled fighter, and his undefeated MMA record (10-0) is proof of that.
