At UFC 327 held on April 11, 2026, in Miami, Florida, Josh Hokit emerged victorious over Curtis Blaydes via unanimous decision, with all judges scoring the fight 29-28 in his favor. The match was intense, leading both fighters to require medical attention post-fight. Hokit, who claimed two performance bonuses worth $200,000, is now set to face Derrick Lewis at the upcoming UFC White House event in June. Despite his win, Hokit was not without injuries, but he reassured fans on social media that he suffered no broken bones. In contrast, Curtis Blaydes sustained serious injuries, including a fractured orbital bone and a fractured nose, which may keep him out of action for several months to a year. This latest injury adds to Blaydes' history of setbacks, including a lengthy recovery from a torn MCL incurred last June. Fans are eager to see how Hokit will perform against Lewis, especially after the grueling battle with Blaydes.
