Josh
\nHokit<\/a> believes Alexander
\nVolkov<\/a> will never get a chance to fight him.<\/p>\n

Hokit (10-0) is scheduled to challenge Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\n(14-2, one no contest) for the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> heavyweight title at UFC
\n334<\/a> on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Volkov has
\ncriticized Hokit since the title fight was announced, and the
\nAmerican has responded.<\/p>\n

Josh Hokit says Alexander Volkov will never get his chance,
\nmocks heavyweight r\u00e9sum\u00e9<\/h2>\n

Volkov considers Hokit an easy matchup and predicts that Gane will
\ndefeat the unbeaten contender. In response, Hokit compared their
\nrecords, noting that he defeated Derrick
\nLewis<\/a> and Curtis
\nBlaydes<\/a>, both of whom beat Volkov.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrago\u201d has won consecutive decisions over Jailton
\nAlmeida<\/a> and Waldo
\nCortes-Acosta<\/a> and is scheduled to face Rizvan
\nKuniev<\/a> at
\nUFC 333<\/a> on Oct. 24 in Abu Dhabi. Hokit added that Blaydes
\ndefeated both Almeida and Kuniev. \u201cThe Incredible Hok\u201d claims he
\nwill already be dominating the light heavyweight division by the
\ntime Volkov earns a fight with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolkov saying he\u2019d beat me easy is funny\u2026 He\u2019ll never get the
\nchance,\u201d Hokit wrote on X. \u201cI just beat Blaydes and Lewis. Volkov
\nlost to BOTH. Now he\u2019s fighting Kuniev (who Blaydes beat), after
\nsqueaking by Almeida (who Blaydes dominated). I’m going to kill
\nCiryl, who he lost to twice. Zero finishes, pure boring. By the
\ntime you earn a fight with me, I\u2019ll already be dominating LH.\u201d<\/p>\n
