Josh Hokit Hospitalized After UFC 334 Loss to Gane, 'I Saw Triple the Whole Fight.. But F--k It'

Josh Hokit came up short against Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 334 and looked the worse for wear following the fight.

Hokit, who had a swollen eye, posted a video to social media saying he was still at the hospital as of 5 a.m. ET. He also suggested he "saw triple the whole fight":

Gane's 2025 fight with Tom Aspinall was ruled a no contest due to an inadvertent eye poke in the first round. It looked as though the same thing happened Saturday night with Gane catching Hokit in the left eye:

The fight obviously continued with Gane earning a unanimous decision, with the judges all scoring it 48-47. He and Hokit received the $100,000 Fight of the Night bonus.

Given how close the fighters were on the scorecards, the eye poke took on an added significance.

With his performance, Hokit managed to boost his stock in a losing effort, and he said in his post-fight interview he "will rejoice in my suffering."

"Suffering builds endurance. Endurance builds character. Character builds hope," he said. "I will never lose hope. I will be champion one day. You guys can kick me when I'm down, I'll still break your f--king leg."

The fact Hokit pushed Gane so hard despite his vision being impaired will only improve his reputation among fans.

He asked for an "immediate rematch" on social media. Should that not happen, Hokit is likely assured of getting a comparable showcase.
