Unbeaten UFC heavyweight fighter ranked #5, Josh Hokit, has called out former UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev, who represents the UAE, for a fight.
Idman.Biz reports that Chimaev recently lost his last fight to American Sean Strickland. This was Chimaev's first defeat in professional mixed martial arts. Prior to this, Khamzat had a winning streak of 15 fights.
"You can be at any weight you want - let's see who backs down first," Hokit wrote on his social media page.
The fight with Strickland was Chimaev's first title defense since winning at UFC 319 in Chicago, Illinois in August 2025.
