Josh Hokit: Ciryl Gane shouldn't be rewarded 'for cheating,' doesn't deserve undisputed UFC title

Josh Hokit, the rising star in the UFC heavyweight division, has expressed doubts about Ciryl Gane's claim to the undisputed title. Hokit, who defeated Derrick Lewis in a recent fight, believes that Gane's undisputed status is undeserved due to his use of illegal tactics during his match with Tom Aspinall. He argues that Aspinall's injuries are not genuine and suggests that Gane is exploiting them to avoid fighting.

Hokit is confident in his ability to defeat Gane, stating that he will "break him" and earn the undisputed title. He also hints at the possibility of welcoming Tom Aspinall back into the sport in 2027 if Hokit defeats Gane. Meanwhile, heavyweight contender Alexander Volkov has expressed disappointment in Gane's performance, stating that Hokit should be given a title shot ahead of him.
