UFC heavyweight title contender Josh Hokit has issued one final warning to Ciryl Gane ahead of UFC 334 tomorrow night.
Josh Hokit is on the verge of doing something pretty special tonight in New York City. After bursting onto the scene, Hokit is now just one win away from becoming the world champion of the UFC’s heavyweight division, one of the most historically prestigious divisions in the entire sport.

Of course, even Josh Hokit knows that this isn’t going to be easy. While he is a very, very talented fighter, the same can be said for Ciryl Gane, the man who currently holds the gold. At the absolute minimum, the expectation is that this is going to be a barnburner. Even if it isn’t, you would have to imagine Josh will know he’s been in a fight when it’s all said and done.
Ahead of things getting underway this evening, Josh Hokit took the time after the final face-offs to send one last message to Gane – and he did it with his usual flair.
Josh Hokit’s final warning to Ciryl Gane
“Ciryl, the code word is gonna be colon cleanse, because I’m gonna beat the s*it out of you,” Hokit said. “Listen, tomorrow night, the future is born, and the past is put in the f*cking casket. Tomorrow, Gotham is saved.”

At this moment in time, Hokit’s stock is pretty high. If he can get through Gane, though, and become UFC heavyweight champion, he will take his stardom to a whole new level. He certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but this has been one of the fastest rises to a title shot we have seen in many years. So, if he gets over the finish line, we may have a new UFC megastar on our hands.
