UFC boss White does not like Hokit’s ‘shtick’
According to BBC Sport, UFC president Dana White says he does not like American heavyweight Josh Hokit's shtick, but maintains that the fighter has earned his undisputed heavyweight title shot against France's Ciryl Gane at UFC 334 at New York's Madison Square Garden. Hokit, whose controversial persona has previously drawn harsh criticism from White, has extended his unbeaten record to 10 wins. Gane acknowledged Hokit's athletic merit and promotional awareness, while the co-main event features a heated rivalry between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes. Additionally, White criticized Usman Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili over a recent brawl in Abu Dhabi.
