Josh Hokit, an undefeated fighter in the UFC, recently made headlines by claiming he is now the favorite fighter of former US President Donald Trump. After an impressive victory against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327, Hokit received two performance bonuses and was added to the Freedom 250 White House card, reportedly with the help of Joe Rogan and Trump. UFC legend Chael Sonnen speculated that Hokit’s addition to the card was not merely a result of Trump's interest in another fighter, but rather a reflection of Hokit’s rising star status. In a conversation with Sonnen, Hokit recounted that UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard told him he had become Trump’s new favorite. While Hokit is known for his flamboyant personality, his claim could signify a significant boost to his career, especially with a potential title shot on the horizon. Meanwhile, Trump has previously praised fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov and UFC president Dana White, indicating his deep involvement in the sport.
