Josh Hokit vows to out-cheat Ciryl Gane if things get dirty at UFC 334: 'I owe it to the fans'

Josh Hokit is ready to do whatever it takes to defeat Ciryl Gane in their UFC 334 heavyweight bout. The 28-year-old former NFL player, who has only fought four times in the UFC, has vowed to cross any ethical lines if necessary. "I believe all things are fair when it comes to war," Hokit stated, expressing no qualms about striking Gane where it hurts, whether that means eye-pokes, low blows, or head strikes.

He emphasized that Gane, the reigning champion, started the physical altercation, so Hokit will reciprocate with equal vigor. Despite Gane's experience and reputation for dirty fighting, Hokit remains confident, noting that Gane's options for defense are limited. Hokit's aggressive approach mirrors his early UFC fights, where he has demonstrated resilience and willingness to go the distance.

His decision to train at JacksonWink MMA's dormitory, where he pays only $1,000 to live during fight camps, underscores his commitment to the challenge ahead. Despite the possibility of a title win, Hokit remains grounded, acknowledging that the journey has been about more than just the prize.
