Why Josh Hokit will win
Last Fight: (W) Max Gimenis – KO/TKO R1
Last 5: 5-0
Finishes: 7 (4 KO/TKO/3 SUB)
Josh Hokit has the tools to break Denzel Freeman at UFC 324 by weaponizing pace, pressure, and transitional offense in a way Freeman has not yet had to endure over three rounds. Hokit’s average fight time of just 3:31 reflects a finisher who does not allow opponents the luxury of slow starts or low-output stretches.
Built on a foundation of Division I wrestling and NFL-caliber explosiveness, Hokit’s level changes and chain-wrestling should disrupt Freeman’s preference for a measured, clinch-heavy approach. Freeman is dangerous in spots but historically passive, often allowing minutes to slip away while he waits for perfect opportunities.
That tendency is a problem against a heavyweight who crashes the pocket, forces exchanges, and turns takedowns into immediate, fight-ending ground-and-pound. Hokit’s ability to blend strikes into reactive shots means Freeman will have to defend layered attacks instead of the more predictable, straightforward looks he saw in regional title bouts.
Over time, Hokit’s urgency and pressure favor momentum, optics, and damage, especially in front of judges who reward forward movement and control. If Freeman does not significantly increase his volume and initiative, Hokit’s pace and wrestling should carry him to a clear victory on Saturday.
