LiontipsJosh Hokit - Derrick Lewis: Betting Tip (cf 1.95) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Josh Hokit is approaching this fight on an impressive wave. In his last fight on April 11, he defeated Curtis Blades by unanimous decision. And it wasn't just a neat points win — it was a bright, sometimes even daring fight, where Hokit forced his opponent to abandon his usual cautious manner and engage in open exchanges. This victory was his ninth in a row, and his fourth in the UFC. Before that, he confidently dismantled Denzel Freeman (technical knockout, first round) and Max Gimenis (technical knockout, first round).
The 28-year-old American has nine wins, zero losses, five knockouts, three submission and only one decision victory. He has a solid base behind him: All-American level wrestling, experience in American football for Fresno State, and even a short cut through the NFL system, where he signed as an undrafted free agent. Now he has already gained a foothold in the top heavyweights of the UFC, occupying the fifth line of the rating.
Current form
Derrick Lewis, on the other hand, approaches the fight in a much more anxious state. In January, he lost to Waldo Cortez-Acosta by technical knockout in the second round. And if you look at the fight itself, it felt like the veteran just couldn't get into the right rhythm — as if the energy was leaving him before the real exchange began. The statistics of the last ten fights speak for themselves: four wins and six losses. Yes, the victories were bright — knockouts over Tallison Teixeira, Rodrigo Nascimento, Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Chris Daukaus. But the defeats came from top-level opponents: Sergey Pavlovich, Tai Tuivasa, Jailton Almeida.
Lewis is a classic puncher: 29 wins, 24 of them by knockout. But age (41 years old) and accumulated damage are starting to play a role. He's still dangerous in the first touch, but it's getting harder to keep up with the pace of the young heavyweights. Plus, the purple belt experience in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the champion background in the Legacy Fighting Championship are already part of the story rather than the current arsenal.

Tip and bets
Hokit showed not only his technique, but also his character in the last fight. His behavior against Blades looked almost like a psychological game — it was as if he was deliberately dragging his opponent into an uncomfortable scenario for him, breaking the usual pattern of the fight. And this is an important signal: this is not just a physically gifted athlete, but a fighter who knows how to control chaos in the octagon. But Lewis is a completely different story. This is not a Blade that can give in to the pace. This is a man who can turn the whole fight around with one hit. And this is where Hokit most likely won't need any extra risk. The most rational scenario here is a protracted battle. Without an instant decoupling, but also without a guaranteed finish in the first segment.
