It's not just Josh Hokit who's eyeing a potential fight against Alex Poatan . At UFC Casa Branca , an event held last Sunday (14) in Washington (USA), the Brazilian debuted in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg) and was brutally knocked out by Ciryl Gane , thus wasting the chance to win the interim belt. Therefore, the Brazilian suffered his third defeat in the company and, if it depends on Brando Pericic , the fourth will come soon.

On his official Instagram account, the Australian challenged the UFC star to a fight. It's true that the Brazilian's focus is on getting an immediate rematch against 'Bon Gamin'. In any case, Pericic, who is 31 years old, 1,96m tall, and a friend of Israel Adesanya , seemed excited about the chance to face the renowned striker in the future and confident that he would win.
