There are so many different thoughts that assailed my mind as I viewed this video (applicable segment starts at 1 minute 49 seconds) and though laying them out might in the manner below may seem disjointed, this is pretty much how they occurred.
To start, this person is alleged to be one of the fighters at Trump's UFC shindig on Sunday night going by the name of Josh Hokit. I only say alleged because I do not follow any of this and all that I know of this incident are headlines that flash past and the commentary in this video. Hokit is also the person who claimed after his victory Sunday night that "Michelle Obama is a man". That comment is not what this OP is about and hardly raised an eyebrow in light of the current abysmal statue of our nation. What did catch my attention and what I would like input on is whether what is being portrayed in the video is 1) real, 2) normal for these fighters, and if normal is there no standard of care regarding safety for his opponent as well as safety for the fighter himself when he appears to be clearly impaired in some way. If this were real life and not video I figure any smells wafting off of him could give a general clue.
If all of this is indeed normal, then this is the "quality" of human beings that make up the largest demographic of Trump supporters?
Here is the progression of my thoughts:
So back to my questions, the commentator says that he was so hung over that he was indeed vomiting but again, I'm not familiar with the measures these fighters take prior to weighing in to make the required weight limits or whether or not what is depicted in the video is as it is described. It's not a violation of a standard of safety to let someone fight in this condition, let alone risk getting regurgitated bodily fluids on their opponent and whatever negative consequences that brings?
I find what's in the video pretty disgusting.

Here is the progression of my thoughts:
- Why is he walking that way?
- He looks a little unsteady on his feet
- Did one of his knees begin to buckle
- Oh my gosh is he DROOLING on himself?
- It looks like he's staying upright through shear willpower only (if you can call than slanted walking style "upright")
- He's DROOLING AGAIN but this time the stuff falling out of his mouth is more solid
