Dana White isn’t the biggest fan of Josh Hokit’s antics, but as long as the UFC 327 winner produces, there won’t be much of an issue. Hokit had a big night on Saturday when he defeated Curtis Blaydes via unanimous decision in Miami. Not only did Hokit earn the win and two bonuses, but he also scored a spot on the UFC Freedom 250 card. He will be facing Derrick Lewis after POTUS Donald Trump requested “The Black Beast” for the June 14 show.
