UFC White House: Josh Hokit calls out Alex Pereira after overwhelming Derrick Lewis with second-round knockout

Josh Hokit extended his undefeated record to 10-0 with a dominant second-round knockout of Derrick Lewis at UFC White House on Sunday, immediately calling out champion Alex Pereira. The outspoken heavyweight controlled the action from the opening bell, attacking early with kicks before securing a takedown and unloading ground-and-pound that drew blood. Lewis found himself largely helpless on his back as Hokit landed elbows and punches while attempting an armbar that carried through the end of the first round. In the second, Hokit continued his assault with crisp striking and dirty boxing along the cage, wobbling Lewis repeatedly before a devastating combination sent him crashing to the canvas. The referee intervened at 4:09, stopping the bout as Hokit celebrated what marks his fourth UFC victory since being signed off Dana White's Contender Series. Now 4-0 in the UFC, Hokit has established himself as a legitimate heavyweight threat through aggressive wrestling and ground control, though his over-the-top promotional antics have generated as much attention as his in-cage performances. At 29-13, Lewis appeared to show signs of decline, unable to effectively mount offense or escape Hokit's control despite his reputation as the UFC's all-time knockout king. The victory positions Hokit closer to the title picture, though significant obstacles remain before a championship opportunity materializes.
