Alex Pereira hinted that the UFC might cut Josh Hokit after his fight at the White House "Honestly, I didn't even want to talk about [Hokit], but I'm going to make this very clear here.He's already on the [White House] card, there's no way to take him off. But I don't know what his future will be after this fight. Whether he'll still be part of the organizaton or not, I really don't know.I've already heard some things, but I can't talk about them. So I don't need to think about him, because I don't even know if he's going to still be around."

Trump's White House UFC fight target of 'explosive drones' plot: FBI
The FBI thwarted an alleged plot to use drones and sniper teams to harm attendees at Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 celebration at the White House, according to federal officials.
FBI disrupts alleged explosive-drone plot targeting White House UFC event, officials say
The FBI and partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., with five people now in custody across multiple states.
The FBI thwarted an alleged plot to use drones and sniper teams to harm attendees at Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 celebration at the White House, according to federal officials.
The suspected masterminds planned to use explosive drones to hit buildings nearby to cause confusion and force an evacuation of the event, the officials told Fox News.
Then, during the scramble, the plotters allegedly hoped that attendees would be steered towards their sniper team in waiting, the officials added.
After that, the suspects allegedly planned a 'second wave' attack that involved rushing the White House gates, officials revealed.
As of Monday, five people were taken into custody in connection with the plan. Investigators have identified 23 people potentially involved in planning.
At least three suspects have been identified. Bryan Omar Roa and Michael Alan Thomas were arrested in California and charged with conspiracy to commit murder; Tycen Proper was arrested in Ohio.
The White House event drew around 4,300 attendees, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and countless other top Cabinet officials.
Speaking at the G7 in France, Trump said he had not been told about the plot.
Alexander Volkanovski comes to Alex Pereira's defense amid the recent back-of-the-head shots controversy"Herb, I love you but you should have been pretty vocal... I don't want to throw shade on people but there was a lot of back of the head shots.If it was someone I didn't like that did that, I'd probably be a lot more clear with how I'm saying this. We need to have that discussion, and we're having that discussion.Pereira's asking for people to speak about it, here I am."
WTF????!!!!!
So McGregor is done for good
Makes me wonder if he was already injured going into the fight

If Usman knees and body holds up, he sleeps DDP
It’s an interesting matchup because I wonder if Usman’s strength will hold up in this weight class.
His striking is underrated
Hopefully he turns back the hands of time
