Josh Hokit has been studying Tom Aspinall\u2019s tape ahead of a possible future clash with the champion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall remains to be out of motion nursing his ongoing eye injuries attributable to Ciryl Gane last October.<\/p>\n

Through the Brit\u2019s forced hiatus, 28-year-old Josh Hokit has emerged as a particularly popular contender within the division, adding a much needed excitement.<\/p>\n

On the UFC Freedom 250 card this past June, \u2018The Incredible Hok\u2019 scored the most important win of his profession up to now, knocking out Derrick Lewis within the second round.<\/p>\n

Use one word to explain Josh Hokit\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffc<\/h3>\n

Josh Hokit is widely considered certainly one of the cringiest fighters on the roster, but what do you’re thinking that of him?\ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Hokit claims Aspinall\u2019s biggest weakness is his strength<\/h2>\n

Hokit\u2019s 4 fight win streak since earning a contract on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series has seen him climb to rank five within the heavyweight division, seemingly on the precipice of a title shot.<\/p>\n

To cement his spot because the primary contender, \u2018The Incredible Hok\u2019 has been campaigning for a clash against Alex Pereira next after their back-and-forth\u2019s in the course of the UFC White House fight week.<\/p>\n

That hasn\u2019t stopped the 28-year-old from attempting to grow to be as conversant in Aspinall\u2019s game as he possibly can, with them potentially set to clash in the long run. <\/p>\n

And after watching tape on the champion, Hokit believes he has pinpointed what Aspinall\u2019s biggest weakness is.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s too offensive minded,\u201d Hokit wrote in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes things exciting until a correct athlete is in a position to compete along with his athleticism. His strength can also be his weakness,\u201d Hokit continued.<\/p>\n

Although Aspinall has long been credited as some of the athletic heavyweight\u2019s of all time, Hokit\u2019s hand speed and skill to wrestle has seen him enter those conversations.<\/p>\n

Despite Hokit\u2019s eagerness to fight for the title sometime soon, he can have to attend for the culmination of what’s going to likely be a rematch between Aspinall and interim champion, Gane.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman is hopeful of that coming to fruition in September in Paris, which is something Aspinall is in support of.<\/p>\n
