Hokit is making headlines in the UFC by cutting WWE-esque promos and backing it up with his performances. “The Incredible Hok” recently defeated Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 to earn both “Performance of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” bonuses. The same card also saw Paulo Costa finish a previously undefeated Azamat Murzakanov in a massive upset.

At President Donald Trump’s insistence, Hokit was immediately booked against Derrick Lewis for the UFC White House card on June 14. Costa subsequently offered to replace Lewis against Hokit. “Borrachinha” also accused Hokit of robbing him of a bonus at UFC 327. However, Costa has since seemingly dropped the idea of fighting Hokit. Hokit recently collaborated with Costa on an Instagram post. Hokit shared a clip of himself cutting a promo at the UFC 327 pre-fight press conference, where Costa can be seen laughing.
Did We Just Become Best Friends?
Hokit wrote: “That’s it… we can never fight now… you love The Incredible Hok… join The Incrediblez… come train with the greatest heavyweight of all time… I’ll get you a Sith Robe… we can conquer the galaxy…”
Costa responded: “This dude …”
Hokit (9-0) has finished eight of his nine career wins, going the distance for the first time in his career against Blaydes at UFC 327. Meanwhile, Costa (16-4) is coming off back-to-back upset wins over suring prospects.
