Chael Sonnen was left baffled by a fan who played matchmaker for Josh Hokit.
The 29-year-old American took on Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 334, challenging for the heavyweight belt. Hokit gave Gane a run for his money, and only lost the fight via a close unanimous decision – with all three judges scoring the contest 48-47 in favor of the Frenchman.
This was also Hokit’s first loss in his MMA career, with his record now reading 10-1. Following the event, a fan took to X to map out a rather wild blueprint of what Hokit should do next. He explained why the heavyweight should ask for a fight against Khamzat Chimaev, before going on to suggest that he should test the waters in the light heavyweight division as well.
The fan’s tweet read:
HOKIT SHOULD ask for Chimaev MW #1 contender fight that sells, he is 29 & used to cutting to 197. Go for MW gold then to LHW then HW longer career then HW wars when doesn’t have defense but durable & durable skin is good.

Former UFC star Chael Sonnen was perplexed by the fan’s take. He wrote:
You drink’n or just fool’n around?
