Josh Hokit has a believer in Jackie Cataline, who thinks the Hawaiian heavyweight will dethrone Ciryl Gane at UFC 334 later this month.
Cataline, who fights Hatice Özyurt at BKB 61 on November 14th, shares history with Hokit from Bellator 300 last year when they bookended the San Diego card. Cataline closed the post-lims with a win while Hokit made his MMA debut on the kickoff prelims. The two have stayed connected through a peptide sponsorship and recently attended Mr. Olympia together, where Cataline said they hit it off, per Bare Knuckle Bowker.

Cataline's Prediction For Hokit At UFC 334
When asked if Hokit will leave Madison Square Garden as heavyweight champion, Cataline was direct. "Yeah, absolutely. I think he takes that fight," she told Bare Knuckle Bowker.
BKB standout Cody East revealed on the same podcast that he recently trained under bare knuckle rules with Hokit, suggesting the controversial heavyweight has entertained the idea of competing without gloves. Cataline reflected on how wild it is to see both their careers accelerate from that Bellator 300 night, saying they are "enjoying every minute" of the journey and the people they meet along the way.
