UFC heavyweight Waldo Cortes-Acosta has issued a stark warning to fellow fighter Josh Hokit, declaring his intention to "take all of Josh Hokit's teeth" in a potential future matchup. The aggressive callout highlights the growing tension between the two athletes as they navigate the promotion's heavyweight division.
Cortes-Acosta, known for his knockout power, made the comments ahead of a scheduled UFC event at the White House, according to reports from November 6, 2026. Hokit, a former NCAA wrestler transitioning to mixed martial arts, has yet to respond publicly to the challenge.
The potential clash would represent a classic striker-versus-grappler matchup, with Cortes-Acosta's striking prowess against Hokit's wrestling background. No official bout agreement has been announced by the promotion.
