Josh Hokit Admits He's Not Crazy Enough To Trade Punches With Derrick Lewis

Josh Hokit acknowledges Derrick Lewis's knockout power and says he isn't reckless enough to stand and trade with the veteran. Ahead of their bout on the White House card, Hokit outlines a plan to fight smart, avoid standing and banging, and use movement and wrestling to tire Lewis. He notes Lewis's right hand is the most dangerous weapon and intends to stay outside that range when possible. Lewis predicts a body-focused, clinch-heavy approach to sap energy. With both plans laid bare, the fight will hinge on execution rather than bravado.
