Josh Hokit keeps rolling …
The red-hot Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight prospect-turned contender continued his destructive run through the division tonight, stopping Derrick Lewis in the second round at UFC Freedom 250 live on Paramount+ on the South Lawn in Washington, D.C., as UFC celebrated America’s 250th anniversary.
Hokit showed patience in the opening minutes, staying on the outside and chopping at “The Black Beast” with kicks. Then, once he found his opening, “The Incredible Hok” landed a picture-perfect, double-leg takedown and planted Lewis on his back.
From there, Hokit controlled the rest of the round, landing ground-and-pound, while Lewis struggled to get back to his feet. Hokit even locked up an armbar in the final 15 seconds, but Lewis survived to the horn.
Unfortunately for Lewis, he didn’t have much left after that.
