Waldo Cortes-Acosta reveals he confronted 'f*cking idiot' Josh Hokit
Waldo Cortes-Acosta had some choice words for Josh Hokit after he dished out a nasty callout earlier this year.
MORRISTOWN, N. J. – Waldo Cortes-Acosta revealed he confronted rising heavyweight Josh Hokit after he dished a nasty callout earlier this year.
Cortes-Acosta, a father of nine, was called out by Hokit at UFC 324 in January. Following his a TKO win over Denzel Freeman, Hokit grabbed the mic and challenged Cortes-Acosta to a fight, calling him a "deadbeat father. " Those comments didn't sit well with Cortes-Acosta, which prompted the Dominican to confront Hokit at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Cortes-Acosta did not reveal exactly when he approached Hokit. "Not only did he speak about me, but he spoke about my family, my kids, and a bunch more sh*t came out of his mouth," Cortes-Acosta told reporters at UFC 328 media day on Wednesday. "I don't know what character he was on to speak that way.
I ran into him at the (Meta) Apex, and I confronted him. I got on the ring, and I gave him a good look, and I told him, 'You're not worth anything. You better prepare yourself well because one day you and I are going to fight.
