Rolls through Derrick Lewis Hokit defeated Derrick Lewis via TKO (punches) at 4:09 of Round 2 at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday in Washington DC.
Impact When was last saw Hokit in mid-April, he was taking a war from Curtis Blaydes in one of the most violent, back-and-forth fights in heavyweight history. He agreed to face Lewis here in a very quick turnaround, likely thinking he could dominant with his athleticism. That proved to be the case. Hokit scored an easy takedown in Round 1, controlling the rest of the frame, nearly earning a stoppage in the dying seconds with an armbar. The dominance continued in Round 2, with Hokit battering an exhausted Lewis on the feet until the finish materialized. Regardless of what you think about Josh and his antics, he's an easy top-five heavyweight already and at age 28 and with just nine professional fights under his belt, his ceiling is considerably more than what we've seen to date.

Earns spot on White House card Hokit will take on Derrick Lewis in a heavyweight matchup at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on June 14, according to UFC President Dana White.
Impact Hokit just came out of an absolute war against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 on Saturday, and it sounds as though as long as he's cleared of any injury, he's more than game for the opportunity set to take place just two months later. While Lewis is coming off a loss, he still owns a top-10 spot in the UFC's heavyweight rankings, so it's a prime opportunity for Hokit to raise his profile even more than he already did Saturday night. Look for Hokit to enter as the betting favorite -- he's the younger man with far superior cardio -- but like any man, he'll need to watch out for the pure power of "The Black Beast."

Takes war from Curtis Blaydes Hokit defeated Curtis Blaydes via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 327 on Saturday in Miami.
Impact While this turned into one of the greatest heavyweight fights in the history of the sport, it's important to remember it likely should have been a cakewalk win for Hokit. He had a massive speed and power edge over Blaydes. He started quickly and seemed all but certain to get his opponent out of there early, but he predictably fought foolishly and engaged Blaydes in the only type of fight he could compete in, that being a wild, reckless brawl. Both men seemingly had countless chances to put the other way but couldn't do so. Hokit landed the more notable blows the entire fight, and while he appeared gassed after just a couple minutes, he worked behind his jab to win the fight in Round 3 in what was clearly a tied bout. Hokit catches a lot of flack for his antics, but the physical skills are borderline elite and he has virtually no MMA miles on his body at age 28. If coach Greg Jackson can get through to Hokit and get him to fight a smarter game plan, the upside here is massive.
