Even on a collision course to face Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 334 with the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg) on the line, Josh Hokit hasn't forgotten Alex Poatan . In an interview with Michael Bisping and Paul Felder on the 'Believe You Me' podcast last Tuesday (30), the provocateur once again attacked the former middleweight (up to 83,9 kg) and light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) champion.
By citing how Brazilians often honor their origins by adorning themselves with body paint from indigenous peoples, the American mocked the fighter and sought a way to associate him with the history of Brazil, colonized by Portugal in the 15th century.

Although there's no official date for his return, the Pataxó Indian said in a video posted on his official Instagram account that there are news to be announced soon, and made it clear that he intends to continue competing at 120,2 kg.
