Josh Hokit's camp has said how it plans to take the heavyweight title from Ciryl Gane: wrestle him, and keep doing it. Hokit, a former American football player and college wrestler, is 10-0 as a pro and has won four straight in the UFC in less than a year with the company. Three of those wins were knockouts, and one was a decision over Curtis Blaydes. He has mostly shown his striking so far.
His training partner Cody East, a former UFC fighter, told Bloody Elbow that trading with the mobile Gane is a losing game. "Ciryl Gane moves very well and we can't afford to play cat and mouse with him," East said, per a translation. He argued that Gane's loss to Jon Jones at UFC 285 understated his grappling, but that he was uncomfortable on his back. Gane's coach Fernand Lopez has compared Hokit to former heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. Gane is 36, 6'5" with an 81-inch reach, and this is his first defense of the belt.
The co-main event carries its own history. Amanda Nunes, 38, returns after about three and a half years away to challenge Kayla Harrison for the bantamweight title. The two used to train together at American Top Team, and Nunes says she saw weaknesses in sparring that Harrison never fixed. She has not said what they are. Their plans beyond the fight differ. Nunes says she will defend the belt if she regains it, while Harrison has floated retirement if she wins, according to Knockout Daily.
The card has filled out. Yousri Belgaroui, a former Glory kickboxer who beat Alex Pereira in the 2017 Glory 40 final, meets Caio Borralho. Belgaroui is 3-0 in the UFC with three TKOs, and his coach Glover Teixeira told Sherdog his grappling is improving quickly. UFC Brasil also confirmed three more bouts: Melquizael Costa vs. Jared Gordon, Donte Johnson vs. Cesar Almeida at middleweight, and Evan Elder vs. Samuel Sanches at lightweight. Johnson is 9-0 and 27, while Almeida is 38 and has lost two straight.
Watch for whether Gane can keep the fight standing, and for any detail from Nunes about the flaws she claims to have found in Harrison's game.
