Chris Weidman Reveals Cain Velasquez Blueprint for Josh Hokit to Upset Ciryl Gane at UFC 334

Chris Weidman, a former UFC middleweight champion, believes Josh Hokit has the potential to upset Ciryl Gane at UFC 334, should Hokit adopt the fighting style of former heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. During a recent episode of his Deep Waters podcast, Weidman highlighted Hokit's relentless wrestling and pressure, comparing it to Velasquez's approach in his prime.

Weidman pointed out that Hokit’s non-stop punches and relentless pressure could wear down Gane, who has struggled with cardio against fighters like Ngannou and Jones. The French heavyweight also suffers from a movement-heavy style that could tire him out faster than Gane. Weidman believes the style of Hokit, known for his relentless pressure, could exploit Gane's vulnerabilities, making him a "tough matchup" for the reigning champion.
