Alex Pereira Responds to Josh Hokit’s Public Call for Fight

Alex Pereira has indicated a willingness to fight Josh Hokit. Hokit had been directing verbal shots at Pereira in the weeks leading into the White House card. The taunts included remarks about Pereira's mother.

Pereira made clear he is ready for anyone. " Hokit is unbeaten and building toward something in the heavyweight division. Pereira is a two-time former champion coming off a defeat he believes was decided by illegal strikes and poor officiating.

Pereira is serving a 180-day medical suspension and has an ongoing legal appeal running in parallel with the medical suspension. Hokit is fresh off a significant performance and building momentum. Whether the UFC moves to make the matchup depends on how both men's immediate situations develop.

The timing may not be immediate, but the willingness on both sides appears genuine.
