Heavyweight prospect Waldo Cortes-Acosta has issued a stark warning ahead of his UFC Vegas 124 matchup against Josh Hokit, declaring his intention to "smash all of Josh Hokit's teeth" in their upcoming bout. The fight is scheduled for November 7, 2026, as part of the UFC's Fight Night series at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Cortes-Acosta, known for his knockout power, enters the contest looking to extend his winning streak inside the Octagon. Hokit, a former NCAA wrestling champion making his transition to mixed martial arts, will test his grappling pedigree against the Dominican striker's heavy hands.
The matchup presents a classic striker-versus-grappler dynamic that could determine the trajectory of both fighters in the competitive heavyweight division. UFC Vegas 124 marks another opportunity for rising contenders to stake their claim in the 265-pound ranks.
