Curtis Blaydes is set to meet surging heavyweight prospect Josh Hokit in a main card bout at UFC 327, taking place at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Blaydes enters the matchup with a 19-5 record and 1 no contest and is ranked No. 6 in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings. Hokit brings an 8-0 record into the fight, with all eight wins coming by finish.
Hokit has made a fast start in the UFC, winning his first two fights in the promotion by knockout against Denzel Freeman and Max Gimenis. He previously earned his contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2025.
Blaydes, known by the nickname "Razor," is coming off a split decision win over Rizvan Kuniev at UFC Baku. His résumé also includes victories over Alexander Volkov, Junior dos Santos, and Alistair Overeem as he looks to halt the rise of the undefeated newcomer in Miami.
