UFC heavyweight prospect Josh Hokit launched a verbal attack on fellow heavyweight Alexander Volkov, claiming that UFC CEO Dana White does not even know who Volkov is. Hokit's comments, reported by MMA Junkie on November 4, 2026, add tension to the heavyweight division as both fighters look to climb the rankings.
Hokit, known for his wrestling background and recent transition to MMA, suggested that Volkov lacks the promotional recognition that comes with being a top contender. Volkov, a veteran with notable wins in the UFC, has not yet responded publicly to the remarks.
The exchange highlights the competitive nature of the UFC heavyweight landscape, where fighters often use media opportunities to call out opponents and gain leverage for future matchups.
