He garnered attention with his media antics leading up to the event and then put on a performance that won't soon be forgotten.Unranked Hokit faced No. 5 ranked Curtis Blaydes in a main card matchup and was part of what some are calling the greatest heavyweight bout of all time. He defeated Blaydes via unanimous decision and banked two performance-based bonuses totaling $200,000.
In the fight card's co-main event, former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa handed No. 6 ranked Azamat Murzakanov his first career loss.
