Josh Hokit has told Dana White to "send anybody you want" after the UFC boss admitted he gave him tough opponents because he did not like things Hokit had said.

"Send anybody you want just don't send anybody you want back," Hokit wrote on X, in a post quoted by Bloody Elbow.

In another post, quoting a clip of White's comments, Hokit listed his four UFC opponents with a note on each. Max Gimenis was "World Champ jiu jitsu", Denzel Freeman a "World team member wrestler" and Curtis Blaydes "Wrestler, big, cardio/ top 5 for 8 years". For Derrick Lewis, he wrote "Fat Cow Pig".

White told The Jim Rome Show: "I didn't like some of the things he said, so I might have threw some tough guys at him ... and he passed every test, and here he is, you know, like him or hate him, he fought his way to the top."

Hokit has brushed off White's views before, telling The Ariel Helwani Show: "Dana is just, you know, he has to say that. Deep down, I'm Dana's favorite fighter."

Hokit is 10-0 and ranked No 4 at heavyweight. He challenges Ciryl Gane for the UFC heavyweight title in the UFC 334 main event at Madison Square Garden on 14 November.
