UFC heavyweight vows to break Josh Hokit’s foot if they fight

Walker issued stark comments about a potential future bout with Josh Hokit, underscoring tensions rooted in prior exchanges. In remarks to Home of Fight, the Brazilian said a heel hook would decide a meeting with Josh Hokit and vowed not to release the hold even if a tap occurs. The comments follow Hokit's trash talk about Brazil before a Dana White's Contender Series bout with Guilherme Uriel last year. Hokit (10-0) holds recent wins over Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis. Walker (15-1) has finished four UFC wins via heel hook since his 2024 debut loss. Walker is scheduled to face Thomas Petersen (11-4) at UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25 at Etihad Arena.
