Josh Hokit's WWE style rant

Josh Hokit made his first shot on his fellow -heavy weights before Dana White even drew him.

The 27-year-old wore a Stars and Stripes Bandana and sunglasses when he delivered an interview with WWE style.

“Me and my partner Dana White and I have decided to get rid of this not -entertaining -heavyweight division and instead we will invent the incredible Hulk division,” Hokit said.

The ex-football player proceeded to the kind of people he wants to fight. Most of them are sex criminals, but he angry fans when he took his piece too far by placing transgender people in the same group.

He added: “Line them all. One by one I give them a good, old American beatdown in the Octagon to show the world that there are consequences for these kinds of behaviors in America.”

“I left the liberal, Snowflake NFL to do the sport of a real man in the promotion of a real man.” :

Hokit made more offensive comments while spoke with Assembled Media members Backstage.

“I see all these heavyweights being cut,” he said.

“They don't put anything on the table. Many of them are just fat overweight boys. Their fighting is boring. They don't even speak English.

“I feel that that should be a criteria, you speak English, and then you can be in the UFC. That's how I would run it.”
