Heavyweight prospect Josh Hokit has declared he will "out-cheat" former interim champion Ciryl Gane if their potential matchup at UFC 334 turns dirty, telling reporters "I owe it to the fans" to match any questionable tactics.
The comments were reported by Drake Riggs for Uncrowned on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Hokit, a former NFL practice squad player turned MMA fighter, appears to be embracing a villain persona ahead of a possible clash with the technically skilled French contender.
Gane, known for his striking precision and movement, has not publicly responded to Hokit's remarks. UFC 334 does not yet have a confirmed date or venue announced by the promotion.
