Josh Hokit can defeat Ciryl Gane, claims former UFC champion

Former UFC champion Chris Weidman stated that Josh Hokit has a strong chance to defeat undisputed heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane at UFC 334. Gane was elevated to undisputed champion after Tom Aspinall vacated the title, setting up the main event matchup against Hokit.

Speaking on the show "Deep Waters," Weidman compared Hokit's aggressive wrestling and top control to former champion Cain Velasquez. Weidman highlighted Gane's previous losses to Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones, arguing that Hokit's relentless pressure and takedown threat could wear down Gane over the course of the bout.
