Ex-NFL fullback earns UFC contract, rips 'liberal, snowflake' league

Josh Hokit, a former NFL fullback, took a swipe at the league on Tuesday night as he earned a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series.

Hokit knocked out Guilherme Uriel in the second round of their bout to earn a UFC contract on the show. He nailed Uriel with a few elbows while the Brazilian fighter’s back was on the mat. The referee had to stop the fight.

After the fight, Hokit cut a pro wrestling-style promo on the NFL.

"I left the liberal, snowflake NFL to do a real man’s sport in a real man’s promotion and here I am doing just that by earning this UFC contract," he said. "I’ve been chewed up and spit out and I continue to find a way and I will find a way to that UFC gold. Mark my words."

Hokit, in an American flag bandanna, also said he wants the UFC to line up pedophiles, sex traffickers, rapists and transgender fighters as his next opponents.

"Me and my new business partner, Dana White, have decided to get rid of this unentertaining heavyweight division, and instead, we’re going to create ‘The Incredible Hok’ division but my opponents won’t be these lazy, boring, heavyweights," he said.

"My opponents will be sex traffickers, pedophiles, rapists, hell you can even throw the transgenders in there. Line them all up, and one by one, I give them a good ol’ American beatdown inside the octagon to show the world that there’s consequences for these types of behaviors in America."

Hokit never played a down in the NFL regular season. He joined the San Francisco 49ers in 2020 and was on the team’s practice squad. He also competed for a spot on the Arizona Cardinals’ roster in 2022.

He’s undefeated in his MMA career. He had two wins in Bellator before he moved to the Legacy Fighting Alliance. The fight against Uriel was the first tied to the UFC.

Vegan firefighter hoses down burning tractor-trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of rib-eye steaks: 'Total loss'

A probationary firefighter at a rural fire department in Missouri had a unique experience when responding to her first fire on Monday.

The Doolittle Rural Fire Protection District, located in the very small town of Doolittle, said it has one vegan, and that happens to be Jenna Ulrich – a new firefighter whose father is also a firefighter.

Ulrich was working on Monday morning when the department received a call reporting a tractor-trailer on fire on Interstate 174 eastbound.

The catch? The truck was carrying 40,000 pounds of ribeye steaks.

Ulrich was stationed on the hose line during the ordeal and can be seen spraying water on the beefed-up inferno in the video posted online by the department. 

Her dad, Glenn, was working alongside her.

"Nothing says ‘welcome to the fire service’ like sending the probie to put out 40,000 pounds of flaming ribeye!" the district joked on Facebook.

Despite a job well done on the firefighters' behalf, the department said the steaks were "a total loss."

This is not the first time the small department has been called to extinguish flaming trailers carrying food. 

In June, a tractor-trailer "fully-loaded" with onions caught on fire, resulting in another total loss.
