After the match, Hokit cut a pro wrestling style promo on the NFL.
“I left the liberal, snowflake NFL to make a real man’s sport in a real man’s promotion, and here I do just that by earning this UFC contract,” he said. “I have been chewed and spit out and I still find a way and I will find a way to that UFC gold. Mark my words.”
Hokit, in an American flag Bandanna, also said he wants UFC to put pedophiles, sex dealers, rapists and transient warriors like his next opponents.

“Me and my new business partner, Dana White, have decided to get rid of this inconsisturizing heavyweight division, and instead we have to create ‘The Incredible Hok’ Division, but my opponents won’t be these lazy, boring, heavy -weight,” he said.
“My opponents will be sex dealers, pedophiles, rapists, hell, you can even throw transgenders in there. Line them all, and one by one I give them a good Ol’s American beatdown inside Octagon to show the world that there are consequences for these types of behavior in America.”
Hokit never played one down in the NFL season. He joined the San Francisco 49ers in 2020 and was on the team’s practice team. He also competed for a place on the Arizona Cardinals’ list in 2022.
