Alex Pereira, a prominent mixed martial arts fighter set to headline the U.S. president's 80th birthday UFC event at the White House, is facing allegations of abuse from two women — and it isn't the first time.

Court records reviewed by CBC News, including depositions, allege the 38-year-old Brazilian UFC fighter engaged in misconduct including assault, forcible confinement, coercive sexual encounters and stalking.

With Pereira now vying for a championship in a third weight class, many combat sports enthusiasts, including Canadian fans, are expected to tune in to Sunday's fight.

The allegations, which Pereira denies, were first reported by Maike Backhaus for German broadcaster ARD/WDR. And they come as Donald Trump's administration continues to deal with fallout from the partial release of the Epstein files.

He's qualified to be in Donnie's cabinet.

8. He fits right in with Trump and his cult.

9. We're surprised that a roid-raging meathead is a sexual monster?

Or that Trump would want him to be part of his putrid, slimy, squalid birthday celebration?

13. Well UFC President Dana White was recorded slapping his wife at a nightclub in Mexico also:

Josh Hokit, a heavyweight fighter slated to appear at the White House at the explicit request of Trump, once called a Black UFC fighter a “human gorilla,” is no stranger to the N-word, and said he wished he could report his mom, who is Mexican, to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Also Sean O’Malley a bantamweight fighting at Trump’s event said it’s okay to cheat on his wife bc Andrew Tate, rapist and human trafficker, said it was okay.

14. Well, yeah . . . only the best! . . .

[Martin68]

15. No wonder that's who Dump wants to celebrate his birthday - he is accused of assault, forcible confinement, coercive

sexual encounters and stalking. A man after his own heart. Totally appropriate! Will we ever live down the embarrassment of having this display on the White House lawn? Will we ever get over the harm this monster has done to our country?

16. Slathers on a layer of more despicable trash as insulation

We mocked Rudy Giuliani squawking about stolen elections at Four Seasons Total Landscaping. We mocked Stephen Miller for spray painting his dome. They’re telling us without innuendo, and unmistakably, they are trash.

[yardwork]

17. Of course.

Why would we expect anything else?

President Donald Trump was captured on video “smiling” Sunday after an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter dropped a shockingly "offensive” and false remark about former First Lady Michelle Obama during the UFC event at the White House, CNN reported.

Mixed martial artist Joshua Hokit, 28, defeated his opponent Derrick Lewis Sunday night at the White House UFC bout, and after his victory, shouted an inflammatory and false claim targeting the former first lady......

Hokit’s remarks also elicited a response from Trump, who was seated in the first row at the event.

“In a brief moment captured on camera, Trump, seated first row at the ‘Octagon,’ appeared to show a half-smile seconds after the false remark, which has previously circulated online,” wrote CNN’s Alejandra Jaramillo.

Back in February, Trump faced rare bipartisan outrage after posting a video on his social media platform Truth Social that briefly depicted former President Barack Obama and the first lady as primates in the jungle. The blowback was so fierce that Trump – who denied being aware that the segment of the video he posted included the racist depiction – ultimately deleted the post.
