Josh Hokit's Michelle Obama comment at UFC White House sparks outrage

[ASFN Admin]

Josh Hokit might have hit a new low with his post-victory remarks.

After beating Derrick Lewis by second-round TKO in their heavyweight fight, Hokit began, “I’m man with the plan, the beast that’s ready to feast. You know what, (expletive) this speech.’’

First, Hokit shouted out Trump for holding the event.

Then he acknowledged his “lord and savior.’’


Then things took a turn for the worse. Much worse.

“Now listen, Alex Pereira, I’m going to chama on your mama,’’ he said. “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?’’

The response from Joe Rogan, who conducts the in-ring interviews?

“Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit,'' Rogan said.

UFC CEO Dana White told TIME Magazine he was against the comments, but in the recent past has never sanctioned any fighter for comments that spark outrage.

Dana White text TIME:

"I understand that the Obama’s are public figures but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families...Everyone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.”https://t.co/ah6oGb9jogpic.twitter.com/1T5sQDcV5O
