Josh Hokit Trolls Alexander Volkov for Recent Dana White Snub

UFC heavyweight contender Josh Hokit seized the spotlight after UFC president Dana White bypassed Alexander Volkov for the next title opportunity, handing Hokit the chance to face champion Ciryl Gane at UFC 334. Volkov, who has spent a decade in the UFC without securing an undisputed heavyweight title shot, publicly questioned White’s decision during the UFC 333 press conference, though White reportedly failed to recognize him.

Hokit, who has only been in the UFC for a year, responded with a pointed jab, suggesting White’s lack of acknowledgment of Volkov underscored the division’s priorities. The 4-0 Hokit, who has earned four bonuses in his first four fights—including a dominant 2026 *Fight of the Year* decision over Curtis Blaydes—has quickly positioned himself as a standout performer in the division.

Meanwhile, Volkov, despite a lengthy UFC career, has yet to deliver a performance that aligns with the title shot he seeks.
