Hokit blasts Pereira-Gane rematch: Make them earn it

Rising heavyweight Josh Hokit criticized the rumored UFC rematch between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane, calling it “makes no f—king sense” and arguing Pereira must first win in heavyweight to deserve another title shot. The piece notes the UFC’s tendency to chase rematches for sales and star power, even amid fan backlash, and frames Pereira’s status as a major draw as driving potential booking despite his loss, while also referencing other high-profile rematch talks and possible future matchups.
