Welcome to the UFC, Josh Hokit!<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, Hokit made his UFC debut, taking on Max Gimenis in a prelim heavyweight bout at UFC Vegas 111; and things could scarcely have gone better for the recent Contender Series signee. Hokit came out quickly, dropping Gimenes with punches early, and then putting the Brazilian fighter out on his feet with a barrage of follow-up shots to pick up his first UFC win in just 56 seconds.<\/p>\n
But Hokit wasn\u2019t done there. \u201cThe Incredible Hok\u201d made a name for himself on Contender Series with a boisterous post-fight persona, and Hokit brought that same enthusiasm to his first UFC post-fight speech, where he donned his American flag bandana and ripped off a poem, plus a callout.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m the talk of the town, the U.S.A. sound, the most profound, the boy toy, the ladies\u2019s joy, the master of disaster, the truth-speaking pastor\u2019s pastor, the biggest arm, the most charm, the one that\u2019s going to do all the harm. I\u2019m more than meets the eye, I\u2019m even sweeter than your grandma\u2019s homemade apple pie.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd lastly I\u2019ll leave you with this: I already stomped two Brazilians, and I\u2019m looking for a third. Valter Walker, you absolutely suck!\u201d<\/p>\n
Walker was quick to respond to the callout on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cJosh Hokkit, I want you next,\u201d Walker wrote. \u201cI\u2019m gonna kick your head like a soccer ball and force you to respect Brazil and our culture, you piece of shit.\u201d<\/p>\n
