Jon Jones: Josh Hokit very well could beat Ciryl Gane at UFC 334

Former UFC champion Jon Jones has weighed in on the heavyweight division’s next major clash, suggesting that rising prospect Josh Hokit could pull off an upset over the highly regarded Ciryl Gane at UFC 334. The prediction comes amid a wave of surprises in the division, including the shocking first-round knockout of heavyweight favorite Gable Steveson by Sean Sharaf at UFC 331, where Steveson entered as a massive betting favorite at -2500 odds.

Jones, who has long been a vocal figure in the sport, also recently addressed Steveson’s setback, emphasizing his belief in the prospect’s potential to rebound despite the early defeat. Meanwhile, Jones has reflected on his own career, calling his absence from the UFC White House event one of his biggest regrets, a historic occasion he feels he should have been part of.

The upcoming matchup between Hokit and Gane adds to the intrigue surrounding the heavyweight division’s evolving landscape, where underdogs continue to challenge established names.
