Alexander Volkov: Josh Hokit would be 'easiest' UFC title fight ever

UFC lightweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has sparked debate by suggesting Josh Hokit would be the 'easiest' potential title fight in the division. The comment comes amid ongoing discussions about the promotion’s contender landscape, with Hokit’s recent performance drawing mixed reactions from analysts and fans alike.

Meanwhile, the heavyweight division remains in flux, with Alex Pereira set to face No. 2-ranked Sergei Pavlovich in a highly anticipated co-main event at UFC 335 on December 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The bout, confirmed during the UFC 332 broadcast, has drawn attention for its potential to shape the division’s future, especially following Francis Ngannou’s departure. Pereira, known for his persistence across multiple weight classes, enters as a slight underdog against the favored Pavlovich, who has been linked to betting odds as the more likely winner.

The matchup also follows broader concerns about the heavyweight title’s legitimacy, with questions lingering over who truly deserves the championship after Ngannou’s exit.
