Josh Hokit made weight for the biggest fight of his life. The scale was the quiet part of his week.
On Thursday, a day before the official weigh-ins at the UFC 334 host hotel in New York City, the heavyweight dropped a line that Championship Rounds clipped and posted with the caption that Amanda Nunes loved it. “On that side of the table, they like dck. On this side of the table, we like pssy,” Hokit said, per the post on X. Happy Punch posted the same clip and noted that Nunes dapped Hokit up after he said it. Plenty of fight accounts treated it as the funniest moment of fight week. Others will file it under the other thing.
Hokit has stopped pretending he’ll play nice. Earlier in the week he told Daniel Cormier why. “You fought Jon Jones for $50K. I’m not going through that. I don’t want anyone to lowball me. If I gotta crack a few eggs to make an omlette, that’s what I’m gonna do,” Hokit said, according to a clip of their conversation shared by Championship Rounds. A fighter who explains his own heel turn in plain English, money first, is my kind of interview.

The guy cracking those eggs is 10-0, sits at No. 10 in the Knockout Daily heavyweight rankings and fights out of Jackson-Wink MMA. He’s a former Fresno State tight end and fullback who spent time on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad, then started his pro MMA career in Bellator in 2023 with an arm-triangle win over Spencer Smith. He turned 29 on Thursday.
Across the cage Saturday is Ciryl Gane, 14-2, the first French champion in UFC history. The MMA Factory product is No. 11 in the UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings and a former Muay Thai titleholder, which is a polite way of saying the wrestler has to get there first. Both men last fought on June 14, 2026, and both hit the heavyweight mark Friday to make the main event official.

The rest of the card got on the scale too, Kayla Harrison and Nunes included, with everyone hitting their marks. Sherdog posted video of the early and official morning weigh-ins.
If Hokit wins, his next negotiation will go a lot better than the Cormier-Jones payday he keeps bringing up. If he loses, he’ll find out how many fans were only laughing at the clip. Gane and Hokit headline Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Nov. 14.
