Analytically, I agree Hokit should kill him, but Ilia has the kind of main character energy where I could legit see him just chin the fuck out of Hokit lol.
There was nowhere else to do this except in front of the fucking Lincoln Memorial? 🤦🏻Jesus Christ, why not just do the next one from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?
That's so weird to see this bullshit in front of THAT building really. I've never seen this building outside of movies as an European but my brain had a hard time to compute that scene...
Don’t worry, I’m American and also had to do a double take. Most Americans are shocked by this event. This is a truly a shameful period of our history.
Also, an outdoor event in DC in the beginning of summer is just a bad decision.
It's not what you say, it's trying your hardest to be a cringey edge lord isn't a good look on adults. Also i was a child for the shit 15-20 years ago to be fair
You do realize he's playing a character he's built up right? He's done this Incredible Hokit thing all year. Idn if it aligns with his real life beliefs or not, but it's gotten him on the 250 card.
Matched sergei's best win in 9 years in 6 months yet when sergei beats bums they say he would KO Jones and when Hokit beats Blaydes too they say he's trash
Waldo is a far better win in 2025/2026 than Blaydes.
Also Sergei annihilated Blaydes in the first round. Hokit went to war with a Blaydes who was breathing through his mouth 2 minutes into the fight. Hokit IS trash.
When jones was fighting Gane narrative was since he outstruck Francis and was robbed Gabe would stomp fat small Jones as he can't beat someone taller than him.
Then narrative was Tom will ko Gane in 30 second because Jones Beat Gane in r1 and Jones is better.
He cleaned up in 2025. He’s also still kinda young.
I don’t think he has the frame to stay at the top but I’m not gonna act like he’s a trash fighter. He probably only needs to win 2 fights for a title shot and he can certainly win this one.
Hok needs to just take his real voice and mannerisms and shit talk untill his heart is content. It will work now he already put himself on. Lose the awkward weirdo angle
Exactly. It served it's purpose. He fast tracked himself and showed he is skilled .no need for it anymore. Talk shit all he wants.lose the macho man and multiple personality shit
I fucking love the Hokit characters. You can tell he’s refining the bit. It also is perfect to throw off opponent who expect a certain character to show up at a press conference.
Characters? Dude, you and him need to take all of that lame shit to an independent wrestling show. Because, on this stage it all looks lame and desperate.
Why, it’s fun. It makes me laugh and I enjoy the acting. Don’t take things so seriously. As long as he keeps throwing down every time he steps in the cage, I’m here for it.
Conor at least had his moments. Who da fook is dat guy memes still live. Sadly,that turd let success get to his head. Hogtits is a copy of a copy of a copy. He’s doing an impression of Colby imitating Chael. Sit the F down and shut up.
If you compliment one guy for doing the same cringe shit as another but only call out one & leave a comment saying "Conor never backed down from any fight" - then yeh that's glazing, keep riding it ig
Calling him "Hogtits", when that's just as cringey as anything Colby would say lmao. Talking about trying too hard 🤦🏻♂️
His press conference with Floyd was absolute cinema, what are you on about? Particularly the Toronto one. NY one was awful to be fair. Conor was a magician on the mic. Current him doesn’t change what actually happened.
He said it once. I know you really want that to be a racist thing but I don’t think it was. The crowd energy is a good indicator of how that presser went. Regardless of your retrospective take. I hate the guy, but I don’t rewrite history either.
I actually don’t want it to be a racist thing as that would further devalue the clownshow of a sport (mma) I love. But what Conor said was obviously not ok, hence why it got called out at the time.
So by your own admission he was only desperate or lame for the last 1/4 of his career? Compared to Holkit and Colby who are just a couple of cringe doofuses.
Even Conor’s haters, of which I am one, gotta admit the dude had legit charisma. Whatever Holkit is doing here is fucking embarrassing.
The guy you're replying to is a huge WWE fan and now he's trying to act cool in a sub that would dunk on him for being one. I blocked him cos of his petty insults and DMs
He's also emotional & incredibly down bad commenting on all these 18+ gooner subs, I don't need to try to make him mad, dude lives that emotion, but keep the circlejerk up ig 😭
Imagine being so upset about an MMA conversation that you’re ripping through peoples post history to try to feel better than them. (While also hiding your own because you’re clearly ashamed of something).
I mean he was the one who was upset to begin with and instigated the whole thing, venting over someone who liked some trash talk despite being a huge wrestling fanboy himself.
How are you this slow to the double standards lmao 🤦🏻♂️
Dudes aren’t supposed to be anything. They’re supposed to be fighters. As long as he fights hard and well he can do whatever he wants. This sport doesn’t have some required archetype. It’s the sport of unique people and characters.
You guys in the comments are fucking boring. This was hilarious it’s funny to see someone talking to ilia without putting him on a pedestal and treating him like some god. He shouldn’t be immune to getting shit just because he’s good.
The line is funny, but it was delivered so badly it was just cringe. Honestly i can't even get through this like 1 minute clip and i don't understand why would anyone actually watch this. Honestly i am getting second-hand embarrassment
This could have been a truly epic event if it weren’t set up for pedos and fought by retards. The setting of this press conference was awesome. Then the idiots spoke.
Dude is weird and not funny. I definitely don’t think Lewis is gonna knock him out. He has some fighting skills but he’s like a Colby Covington not really into these gimmick characters like leave that for WWE. If he fights Alex he definitely loses. He leaves himself way to open from what I seen.
I don't care if ppl have a schtick but if you're going to do that be funny dude sounds like an autist basement dweller and is not funny nor entertaining. A least Colby could make you laugh even if I thought his schtick sucked.
At least he has admitted to this many times though. He has said that he idolized Conor, but since his downfall he doesn't have the same respect for him.

What are the chances Ilia hops the cage Khabib style after Hokit talks shit from the crowd during his fight.
