UFC Freedom 250 winner hurls nasty remark at Michelle Obama as Trump watches on White House lawn

UFC Freedom 250 delivered a massive victory for Josh Hokit on the White House lawn this past Sunday, but it was his post-fight comments that truly ignited a firestorm.

A Controversial Moment

Following his heavyweight victory over Derrick Lewis on June 14, Hokit joined Joe Rogan for a post-fight interview on the Paramount+ broadcast. During the live segment, Hokit abruptly shifted the tone by shouting, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?”

The remark caught Rogan off guard, who appeared visibly flustered. Rogan opted not to address the comment directly, simply closing the segment by stating, “Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit.” The broadcast moved on immediately, and the statement was not referenced again during the event coverage.

Atmosphere at the White House

While the event itself took place in the unique setting of the White House, much of the evening focused on more traditional themes. Fighters expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to compete at the venue, with an overarching emphasis on celebrating veterans and first responders.

President Trump was present for the event, occupying a front-row seat alongside first lady Melania Trump and UFC CEO Dana White.
