Overview
- Hokit stopped fellow newcomer Max Gimenis by TKO in 56 seconds at UFC Vegas 111 after a knockdown and a flurry of right hands along the fence.
- The undefeated heavyweight moved to 7-0 in his first UFC appearance, extending a career trend of finishing opponents early.
- In his post-fight interview, Hokit delivered a rhyming promo capped with, “I already stomped two Brazilians, and I’m looking for a third. Valter Walker, you absolutely suck.”
- Walker fired back on social media, vowing to “kick your head like a soccer ball” and demanding respect for Brazil, with some replies later reported deleted.
- Hokit arrived via Dana White’s Contender Series and an NFL background, while Walker is known for a four-fight heel‑hook streak and his ties to light heavyweight Johnny Walker.
