Dana White Slams Josh Hokit's Michelle Obama Comment

UFC boss Dana White has strongly condemned Josh Hokit for making disparaging and false comments about Michelle Obama during the White House's UFC Freedom 250 event.

White expressed his disapproval in a text message to Time magazine, stating, 'I understand that the Obamas are public figures, but I'm completely against saying nasty and false things about people's families.' He added, 'Everyone knows my position on free speech, but I hate that kind of nonsense.'

During the event, Hokit made provocative comments about Michelle Obama, shouting, 'And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?' to a cheering crowd. The remarks sparked widespread criticism on social media, but went unaddressed throughout the broadcast. Host Joe Rogan appeared visibly flustered and attempted to distance himself from Hokit.

The UFC Freedom 250 event, which took place on the White House lawn, was a celebration of America's 250th anniversary and Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The event featured UFC fighters, U.S. veterans, and first responders, as well as a performance by the Zac Brown Band.
