Josh Hokit has released a rap song taking aim at Ciryl Gane less than two weeks before he challenges him for the UFC heavyweight title. "Frenchy leaving in a diaper," Hokit raps on "MSG Freestyle", which he put out with a video on his YouTube channel under the rap name J-Word.

The song also targets former heavyweight champions Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, along with Alex Pereira and Ilia Topuria. Derrick Lewis, whom Hokit stopped at UFC White House, gets his own line: "Think I'm playing, watch your f***ing ass, Derrick Lewis."

The verse on Gane goes after the two complaints from his last two fights. "Hit the back of your head, that's how he's winning," Hokit raps, before the diaper line. He follows it with "Here for good, little boy, I'm a lifer" and "Try to eye poke, I'm ripping off your little d***."

Gane poked Aspinall in the eye in their UFC heavyweight title fight and later said he had been trying to push Aspinall's face. He then stopped Pereira at UFC White House in June, and Pereira has since blamed referee Herb Dean for letting Gane land strikes to the back of his head.

Eye pokes have already come up in Hokit's camp for this fight. A training partner described being sprayed with pepper spray as "like a Ciryl Gane eye poke thing" in a video Hokit posted.

Hokit earned the shot with a unanimous decision over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 in April and the win over Lewis. Gane makes his first defence of the undisputed title against him in the UFC 334 main event at Madison Square Garden on 14 November.
