Watch Josh Hokit get pepper sprayed to prepare for Ciryl Gane’s eye pokes ahead of UFC 334

Josh Hokit is preparing to fight blind during his heavyweight title bout at UFC 334.

‘The Incredible Hok’ will face infamous eye-poker Ciryl Gane at Madison Square Garden on November 14.

Tom Aspinall was unable to fight on after being poked in both eyes by Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 in October 2025.

Josh Hokit‘s latest social media upload shows he plans to push through any fouls he faces at UFC 334.

Ciryl Gane has been branded 'dirty' throughout his MMA career 👉 👁️

While UFC Vegas 123 was going down on Saturday, Josh Hokit was clowning about in his gym.

The former NFL star shared a video of him getting pepper sprayed by a friend ahead of UFC 334.

“Actually got pepper sprayed,” Hokit captioned his viral Instagram post.

Hokit hit pads and took down his training partner while dealing with the effects of the pepper spray.

“It does burn. Oh f—! Bro, it actually f—ing burns. I thought this s— was fake,” he said.

“Where’s the f—ing spray at? You said it was fake,” Hokit added before spraying his pal.

At the end of the video, Hokit’s friend explains that the pepper spray was supposed to be fake, but it actually burned their eyes.

Real or fake, MMA fans let Hokit know his latest training video was hilarious by liking, sharing, and commenting on it.

Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit will be supported by one of the biggest fights in WMMA history.

Amanda Nunes will return from retirement to face bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison in the UFC 334 co-main event.

A bunch of other huge fights are also set to take place at New York’s most iconic arena later this month.
