UFC heavyweight contender Josh Hokit has adopted an unconventional training method ahead of his UFC 334 title bout against Ciryl Gane. Hokit was filmed training while blindfolded, a tactic designed to simulate the disorientation caused by accidental eye pokes during a fight. The preparation underscores the unique challenges both fighters anticipate in their championship clash scheduled for November 2026.
Hokit, known for his wrestling background and aggressive style, aims to neutralize Gane's technical striking by improving his ability to defend and continue fighting despite impaired vision. The blindfold drills are part of a broader camp focused on adapting to the unpredictable nature of MMA competition.
