JOSH HOKIT

Representing the United States, heavyweight Josh Hokit began his transition to professional mixed martial arts after participating in collegiate wrestling and football at Fresno State. Following previous stints with Legacy Fighting Alliance and Bellator MMA, he relocated to New Mexico to refine his skills at the Jackson Wink MMA Academy. His tenure in the sport is defined by a consistent grappling foundation and an unblemished professional trajectory that began in 2023.

Hokit enters this contest with a pristine 10-0-0 record. His recent momentum features a string of five consecutive victories, beginning with an elbow-based stoppage of Guilherme Uriel and a knockout of Max Gimenis. He continued this streak by forcing a retirement victory against Denzel Freeman and earning a unanimous decision over Curtis Blaydes. Most recently, he stopped Derrick Lewis with strikes this past June.
