Josh Hokit doesn’t care about unity.
The red-hot Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight prospect-turned-contender is still catching heat for his unnecessary and controversial post-fight comments at UFC Freedom 250 one week ago, where he called former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama a man.
UFC CEO Dana White condemned Hokit one day after the event, calling the comment “nasty and false.”
Earlier this week, former two-division champion-turned-broadcaster Daniel Cormier also went after Hokit for the comment, as well as his cornball gimmick as a whole.
“He started his post-fight interview, and he was going to do one of those gimmicky things that honestly I think is lame,” Cormier said. “He could have left, and he could have made more fans than he walked in there with because they would have gotten to see Josh Hokit. But instead, he goes and says the thing about Michelle Obama … I absolutely hated that. He needs to do better.
“He needs to do better because it looks like he’s going to have a good career in UFC, and he’s going to have a ton of time to work his way toward the championship, or at least fight for it.”
Well, Hokit saw Cormier’s criticism and fired back.
“I’ve been nothing but nice to this fat cow pig,” Hokit wrote on social media. “I’m not here for unity, in reality there will never be unity … I come to divide people’s faces … if you don’t like it, then come do something about it.”
So, yeah, looks like Hokit and Cormier won’t be friendly anymore.
Hokit has not walked back his comments and has essentially doubled down by going after everyone who has criticized him. Whether that helps him gain more attention or eventually blows up in his face remains to be seen.
For now, though, Hokit remains undefeated, remains controversial, and remains one of the hottest rising names in UFC’s Heavyweight division.
