Alex Pereira makes daming revelation about Josh Hokit being cut from the UFC

The hostility between Alex Pereira and Josh Hokit refuses to die, allegedly forcing the UFC to take unprecedented measures to bury it.

Made famous by many before him, with Colby Covington as one of the standout pioneers, Hokit has taken a professional wrestling approach to his early mixed martial arts career. Creating several larger-than-life characters that capture the spotlight and demand attention each time he has a mic in front of him has slingshot the 28-year-old into the limelight, but not everybody is a fan of his antics.

Throughout his quick rise to fame , Josh Hokit has made some enemies. One who refuses to engage with Hokit's performances is former middleweight and light heavyweight kingpin Alex Pereira. The South American has remained stoic during his altercations with the California native, believing Hokit's disrespectful approach to the fight game has him on the UFC chopping block.

"I try not even to think about it or entertain anything about him because there is no reason for it," Pereira said. "But we cannot remove him out of the card on Sunday. He is already there, so he is going to fight."

"But I have just heard some things that I don't even know if he will be part of this organization going forward. I mean, he is going to fight, but I don't know. I have heard some things here or there that I don't even maybe not even worth talking about because I don't even know if he is gonna be there."

Freedom of speech has always been preached by Dana White , regardless of the beliefs and views of his fighters. But if controversial comments and damning behavior potentially damage the UFC product, how long will it take for those in charge to act?

That is what Alex Pereira trusts is being discussed among the company's overseers, with Josh Hokit's future in the promotion a topic of some very uncomfortable conversations.

"There is a huge audience that watches this. There are children, there are families, there are people, and a lot of the things he does and says are just very disrespectful. So, I think, I don't know [what will happen with Hokit's UFC future]."
