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

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.
