Former two-division titleholder Alex Pereira wants the UFC 334 co-main event to be promoted to the main event.

A heavyweight title clash between champion Ciryl Gane and undefeated contender Josh Hokit is set to headline UFC 334. In the co-main event, women’s bantamweight titleholder Kayla Harrison will defend her strap against the legendary Amanda Nunes.

Pereira, who is no fan of Josh Hokit and Ciryl Gane, now wants the company to remove them from the UFC 334 main event and promote Harrison vs. Nunes to headline the card instead. Earlier today, “Poatan” posted the UFC 334 poster on Instagram stories and wrote:

“Why the Women’s Fight is not the Main Event? Okay, let me help promote this cause no one is paying attention to it.”

“Poatan” also has an upcoming assessment. He will take on Russian knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich in the co-main event of UFC 335. The winner could become the next 265-pound title challenger and face the winner of the Gane vs. Hokit title clash.

Josh Hokit calls Alex Pereira, Ciryl Gane, and Jake Paul “pus*sies” 

Josh Hokit claimed earlier this week that Jake Paul, Ciryl Gane, and Alex Pereira do not want to fight him in either boxing or MMA. He also claimed that Gane is being forced to face him at UFC 334. “The Incredible Hok” posted on X:

“@jakepaul , @ciryl_gane , @AlexPereiraUFC , boxing or MMA, none want the Incredible Hok, smoke. I destroy Jake, easy. I’m Jakes size & age so he would never fight me. AJ’s size was his built in excuse. Ciryl & Alex were praying not to fight me. Ciryl was forced to. Pu*sies.”

Hokit knows how to use other MMA and boxing stars’ names to catapult his own, and so far, doing that, plus paying the heel at the same time, and most importantly, his performance inside the octagon, is the reason why he is going to fight for the title in his fifth UFC outing.
