Josh Hokit

Overview

Four UFC fights, four wins, and the one that went the distance came against an elite opponent. Josh Hokit is a Heavyweight out of Jackson Wink MMA Academy - NM, and his UFC record is 4-0. His professional record across all promotions is 10-0.

Before the UFC he fought on Dana White's Contender Series, where he stopped Guilherme Uriel in Round 2. Three of his four UFC wins are knockouts, two of them in the first round.

Unbeaten, and not just against soft competition.

UFC Career

Hokit debuted at UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs Brown in November 2025 with a first-round TKO of Max Gimenis at 0:56. At UFC 324 in January 2026 he stopped Denzel Freeman with one second left in Round 1, at 4:59.

Then the step up. At UFC 327 he went three rounds with Curtis Blaydes, an opponent our model rates as elite, and won a unanimous decision. It's the only fight in his UFC run that wasn't a finish, and it's the one that carries the most weight.

His latest outing was a second-round TKO of Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250, at 4:09, over an opponent our model puts in the strong tier. He carries a four-fight win streak into his next fight.

Four fights is a small sample. The results are not.

Fighting Style

Josh Hokit is a busy, accurate striker who also takes the fight to the mat. He lands often and hits what he throws, and he shoots for takedowns more than most while being hard to put on the floor himself.

The tradeoff is that he gets hit more than most fighters, and his defense on the feet is about what you'd expect from the UFC average. He rarely hunts for submissions, and none of his UFC wins have come that way.

His results fit that profile. He is 4-0 in the UFC with three knockouts and a decision, two of the knockouts coming in the first round and the other in the second. The decision came against an elite opponent in Blaydes.
