Josh Hokit shares biggest criticism of UFC champion Tom Aspinall: “Also his weakness”

Josh Hokit has a critique of UFC heavyweight titleholder Tom Aspinall.

Hokit has been vocal about Aspinall’s partnership with Eddie Hearn for a Matchroom Talent Agency deal. Hearn represents Aspinall in the midst of a public feud with UFC CEO Dana White. The deal occurred after Aspinall expressed his displeasure with how the UFC boss reacted to his eye injury against Ciryl Gane.

Now, “The Incredible Hok” is sharing his opinion on Aspinall’s biggest flaw inside the Octagon. Hokit quote posted a clip of Aspinall’s 2022 submission win over Alexander Volkov and he has some criticism.

“He’s too offensive minded,” Hokit wrote. “That makes things exciting until a proper athlete is able to compete with his athleticism.. his strength is also his weakness..”

There’s no word on when Aspinall returns, but Matchroom’s Hearn has claimed his fighter won’t be returning before getting a substantial bump up in pay. If both sides can come to an agreement, it will open the door for a title unification rematch against Gane, who holds interim gold.

Hokit will be paying close attention to that fight, as he could be lined up for a potential title eliminator if he keeps finding success. The controversial contender wants to settle his grudge with Alex Pereira, who fell short in his bid for the interim heavyweight title when he was stopped by Gane at UFC Freedom 250.

Hokit continued his rise in the heavyweight division with his UFC Freedom 250 thrashing against Derrick Lewis. The win put the Bakersfield native at 10-0 in his pro MMA career, and he sits at No. 5 on the Meta UFC heavyweight rankings. He’s one step higher at No. 4 on the media panel rankings.
