Josh Hokit accuses Tom Aspinall of stalling UFC heavyweight division
Summary

Josh Hokit, an undefeated heavyweight contender, has criticized Tom Aspinall for allegedly stalling the division. Aspinall has not fought since his title defense against Ciryl Gane ended in a no-contest last October. Hokit argues that Gane and Alex Pereira should compete for the undisputed heavyweight title instead of an interim title. Hokit, who is set to face Derrick Lewis, claims Aspinall's injury narrative is holding back the division's progress. He believes clarity from Aspinall is necessary to move forward.
