Hokit has gained attention by playing the
Ultimate Fighting Championship's latest heel. He has gone on a

Valter Walker says Josh Hokit couldn’t handle him at a UFC
press conference

Walker noted that Hokit never took a dig at him. The Brazilian
believes Hokit avoids provoking him because he wouldn't be able to
handle him in a verbal back-and-forth. Walker claims he could send
the American's alter ego to hell the moment they start trading
barbs at a press conference.

“There’s no my name in there, u know why?†Walker wrote on X.
“Because he wouldn’t be able to stand listening to me at a press
conference or anywhere else, cause that character would go straight
to f*cking hell when I start. U are real cute, taco boy.â€

Hokit (10-0) has finished three of his four UFC wins, helping earn
him a title shot in the heavyweight division. He is scheduled to
challenge Ciryl Gane
(14-2) for the heavyweight title at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Meanwhile,
Walker (16-1) has finished five straight fights with leg-based
submissions since suffering his lone professional loss in his UFC
debut in 2024.

Luis Hernandez wants to fight at middleweight and welterweight
after his unbeaten UFC start

Hernandez's short-notice UFC debut came at light heavyweight.
However, he wants to primarily compete at middleweight while
occasionally dropping to welterweight. The 30-year-old wants to
stay active and become a household name before turning his
attention to championship aspirations.

“I'm a company man,†Hernandez said on the “Deep Waters†podcast.
“I'm gonna make the fights happen. Any weight class you call me,
I’m about that money… I want to pull a Kevin
Holland and do both 170 and 185. I do want to go up the
rankings, but I want to become first a household name.â€

Hernandez holds a 9-0 record, with all nine of his victories coming
by stoppage.

Raoni Barcelos released a video from his hospital bed almost 48 hours after his scary defeat to Raul Rosas Jr. to confirm he's “doing well†and already anticipates a “stronger†return.
