Alexander Volkov Views Josh Hokit as Easiest Potential Title Opponent

Alexander Volkov has identified Josh Hokit as an ideal future opponent for a UFC heavyweight title opportunity. Despite acknowledging Hokit as a "nice guy," Volkov stated in a recent interview that he believes a matchup between the two would be his easiest path to winning the belt. Volkov is currently preparing for his own upcoming bout against Rivzan Kuniev on October 24.

Hokit is currently scheduled to challenge Ciryl Gane for the heavyweight title at UFC 334 on November 24. Volkov, who holds a professional record spanning 51 fights, previously faced Gane in 2024, suffering a loss via split decision. With recent victories over Jailton Almeida and Waldo Cortes-Acosta, Volkov remains focused on securing a title shot, whether it involves a rematch against Gane or a first-time meeting with Hokit.
