UFC 324: Josh Hokit vs. Denzel Freeman: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO finish for Hokit in this matchup of knockout artists, as he’s the quicker and more aggressive fighter. Both have solid wrestling backgrounds, but I think that they’ll choose to strike against each other.
It’s going to be a battle of inches because one punch can significantly change the complexity of the match. However, the speed and explosiveness of Hokit will be the main difference in landing the lethal blow that ends the match instantly.
