Josh Hokit Rants ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ in Bizarre UFC White House Scene

Josh Hokit made sure he went viral on Sunday night at the UFC White House card.

For all of the good that the UFC had on Sunday with seven fights that all ended by finish on the South Lawn of the White House, Hokkit – an American-born wrestler who was indirectly thrust into the spotlight at the request of President Donald Trump – may have halted all of his momentum with his post-fight press conference despite a TKO win over Derrick Lewis.

“Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” Hokit said on the White House South Lawn after giving props to President Trump for putting on the event to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

After Hokit’s earth-shattering decision win over Curtis Blaydes in Miami at UFC 327 in April, President Trump, who was in attendance at the time, asked why another heavyweight, Lewis, wasn’t on the White House card.

UFC President Dana White ran to Hokit to offer him a fight on the White House card, which he graciously accepted. (Read more from “Josh Hokit Rants ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ in Bizarre UFC White House Scene” HERE)
