UFC President Dana White revealed he was not a fan of Josh Hokit's persona, leading him to match the fighter against tougher opposition to test his mettle.
White made the admission during a recent media appearance, explaining that he "threw some tough guys" at Hokit to see how he would respond. The comment suggests the UFC boss uses matchmaking as a tool to evaluate a fighter's character and resilience.
Hokit, a former college wrestler turned mixed martial artist, has been building his record in the promotion. White's remarks highlight the organization's approach to developing prospects through challenging matchups.
