Mixed martial arts fighter Jalin Hokit, who trains at the renowned Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is set to participate in a combat sports exhibition at the White House on Sunday, April 13, 2026. The event, part of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, will feature a demonstration of various martial arts disciplines.
Hokit, a former collegiate wrestler for Fresno State University, transitioned to MMA and has compiled a professional record. His inclusion highlights the administration's effort to showcase a diverse range of American athletic talent during the public holiday celebration.
The exhibition is not a sanctioned professional fight but a demonstration for attendees. The White House Easter Egg Roll is a long-standing tradition, with the 2026 edition expected to draw thousands of visitors to the South Lawn.
