Dana
\nWhite<\/a> isn\u2019t looking forward to a potential Josh Hokit<\/a>
\ntitle reign in the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hokit will challenge Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\nfor the UFC heavyweight championship at UFC
\n334<\/a> on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Gane
\nwas elevated to undisputed champion following Tom
\nAspinall<\/a>\u2019s relinquishment of the belt and \u201cThe Incredible Hok\u201d
\nwill be the Frenchman\u2019s first challenger.<\/p>\n

Dana White addresses Josh Hokit ahead of his UFC 334 title
\nfight against Ciryl Gane<\/h2>\n

White hasn\u2019t been coy about his views on Hokit, who has drawn the
\nire of the UFC CEO previously, especially for his antics before and
\nduring
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> at the White House.<\/p>\n

With the unbeaten heavyweight now set to headline MSG, White was
\nasked about the same at the UFC
\n331<\/a> post-fight presser.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a lot of thoughts on that,\u201d White said. \u201cYeah, lots and
\nlots. I\u2019m sure they\u2019re the same thoughts that you\u2019re all having. I
\ndoubt we\u2019re that different. Yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

When pressed about Hokit\u2019s controversial promotion style, White
\nreiterated his stance of letting fighters say whatever they want
\nand that he doesn\u2019t have to have a positive relationship with an
\nathlete for them to thrive in the promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t police what people say and any of that sh*t and if you
\nkeep winning\u2026\u201d White added. \u201cI say it all the time, I don\u2019t have to
\nlike you for you to thrive here and you do well and be successful.
\nMany people that I do not like have done very well here. I\u2019m not
\nsaying I don\u2019t like Josh Hokit; I literally don\u2019t like anything
\nJosh Hokit says. And that\u2019s not going to change unless he changes
\nand I don\u2019t see that happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
