Fighter Josh Hokit defeated Derrick Lewis at the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday evening. Shortly after his victory, Hokit used his post-fight microphone time to repeat a widely circulated but unproven internet theory about former First Lady Michelle Obama.
According to The Telegraph, Hokit said to the crowd: “Shout out to Trump for having the balls to put some s— like this on,” before adding: “Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” The claim he repeated, that Michelle Obama was born male and transitioned before her marriage to former President Barack Obama, has no evidence to support it.
