Overview

• Hokit earned a UFC deal after stopping Guilherme Uriel via second‑round TKO on Dana White’s Contender Series.
• In an ESPN+ interview and with reporters, he called heavyweights "overweight fat guys," said speaking English should be "a criteria" for UFC eligibility, and included transgender people in a list of would‑be opponents.
• Before the fight, he posted videos disparaging Brazilians, including a deleted segment referencing a racial slur that Uriel and multiple outlets highlighted.
• Dana White signed Hokit along with other DWCS winners despite the publicized comments, and these reports note no disciplinary action from the promotion.
• The ex-49ers practice‑squad player has a record of provocative posts, previously drawing attention for calling Michelle Obama "a man."
