UFC Fighter Appearing At Trump's Birthday Cage Match Openly Wished He Could Report His Own Mom To ICE [View all]

White House visits are typically reserved for foreign dignitaries, Nobel Prize winners, heads of state and the Easter Bunny.

On Sunday, for President Donald Trump’s birthday (and at a cost of upwards of $60 million), it will instead host bloodsport, featuring combatants with a long history of wildly racist and other problematic statements, and allegations of domestic violence.

Josh Hokit, a heavyweight fighter slated to appear at the White House at the explicit request of Trump, once called a Black UFC fighter a “human gorilla,” is no stranger to the N-word, and said he wished he could report his mom, who is Mexican, to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He’s also repeatedly accused high-profile women of being men, including former first lady Michelle Obama and WNBA star Brittney Griner.
