Highlights! Former NFL player Josh Hokit delivers violent debut knockout, cuts WWE-inspired post-fight promo | UFC Vegas 111

Former NFL tight end Josh Hokit delivered as promised earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 8, 2025) at UFC Vegas 111 LIVE on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, taking out fellow heavyweight debutant Max Gimenis with a 56-second TKO (punches).

There was a reason that Hokit was the biggest favorite on UFC Vegas 111’s card. The fighter known as “Incredible Hulk” has posted a 100% finish rate throughout his MMA career and possesses solid wrestling with a collegiate background. It’s the perfect combination for a young heavyweight on the rise, but Hokit still had to prove he could live up to the hype.

Luckily for Hokit, the stars aligned in his UFC debut and he was able to score a nice knockdown with about 40 seconds off the clock. Gimenis was able to return to his feet, but Hokit was there again for more punches and a flurry of power shots that crumbled the Brazilian heavyweight along the fence.

Check out the finish below:

After his debut win, Hokit jumped on the microphone for his post-fight interview and turned in a WWE-inspired promo. Hokit racked off 10 things Chael Sonnen or Colby Covington would say before calling out surging heavyweight foot collector, Valter Walker. We’ll see if Hokit gets his wish.
