UFC fighter Josh Hokit turned the biggest win of his career into a national backlash after using a post-fight interview at the White House to repeat a false and offensive conspiracy theory about former First Lady Michelle Obama.
After defeating Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday, Hokit praised President Donald Trump and then said, "Lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?" The comment, made inside the Octagon on the White House South Lawn, was met with audible groans as Joe Rogan ended the interview without engaging.
