UFC Discusses Potential Matchup Between Alex Pereira and Josh Hokit

UFC is reportedly exploring a potential matchup between Alex Pereira and Josh Hokit, two heavyweights with a heated rivalry. Hokit has been vocal in his trash talk, particularly targeting Pereira, which has escalated tensions between them.

Hokit recently achieved a knockout victory over Derrick Lewis, while Pereira faced a setback against Ciryl Gane in his bid to become the first UFC triple champion. Despite this, Pereira remains determined to continue competing in the heavyweight division.

Ariel Helwani confirmed that discussions about a fight between the two are ongoing, although no agreements have been finalized. Hokit has expressed interest in facing Pereira if his request to challenge Gane is denied, suggesting a potential title eliminator bout could be on the horizon.
