Hokit won an absolute battle against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 where both men stood for 15 minutes and hit the other with their biggest shot, but neither man went down. Blaydes was a bloody mess after the fight, and Hokit still had enough energy to give a rhyming post-fight promo.

Here is the current lineup for UFC Freedom 250:

• 155 lbs. Undisputed Lightweight Title – Ilia Topuria (c) vs. Justin Gaethje (ic)
• 265 lbs. Interim Heavyweight Championship: Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane
• 135 lbs. Sean O’Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi
• 155 lbs. Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler
• 185 lbs. Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus
• 145 lbs. Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia
• 265 lbs. Josh Hokit vs. Derrick Lewis
