  "account": "Josh Hokit has expressed his dissatisfaction with the rumored rematch between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane. The 6-foot-1 fighter, who has quickly risen through the ranks in the UFC, believes that a more favorable matchup, such as against Sergei, would be more appropriate. Hokit criticized the UFC's recent matchmaking decisions, stating that the company is \"f***ing cooked\" if they continue to make such choices. He emphasized that American fans deserve an American champion and a fight that hasn't been seen recently. Hokit also denounced the eligibility of Ilia Topuria and Alex Pereira for immediate title-shot rematches, insisting that both fighters were \"handily destroyed\" in their previous fights and should have to earn their way back to the title shot like everyone else.",
