(Photo by Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><small class=\"pGGCM2aD\">Zuffa LLC<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Josh Hokit&#8217;s intentionally offensive show keeps rolling. The UFC heavyweight title contender scored a one-sided second-round TKO win over a listless Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250 on Saturday night at the White House. Hokit&#8217;s win was huge for his career, but per usual, the brash and performative American used his post-fight interview to call out Alex Pereira and to insult former first lady Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">After Hokit used <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ufc\/status\/2066354556322361603\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/x.com\/ufc\/status\/2066354556322361603\" aria-label=\"Pereira's signature term to mock him\">Pereira&#8217;s signature term to mock him<\/a> and insult the Brazilian&#8217;s mother, the former then said, \u201cMichelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">At this point, no one was surprised, because Hokit has seemingly decided to routinely say the most outlandish thing that spills into his brain. The Obama insult tracks with Hokit&#8217;s caricatured political stance and verbal assaults designed to draw the ire of minorities and others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Here&#8217;s the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the entire post-fight interview. <\/p>\n<p>Former MMA bad guy Chael Sonnen seemed to approve of Hokit\u2019s antics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">In case you&#8217;re wondering whether Hokit will be fined or penalized, no, he won&#8217;t. That&#8217;s not how the UFC works. UFC President Dana White has routinely defended freedom of speech from his fighters \u2014 no matter how reckless they are with their words.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">It would be foolish to get angry about Hokit&#8217;s comments. That&#8217;s essentially what he wants. He&#8217;s fighting as hard for attention as he is to win fights in the Octagon. If it weren&#8217;t my job to cover potentially viral events in combat sports, I would have publicly ignored his actions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Quite frankly, my advice to any combat sports fan or anyone else offended: keep it to yourselves. It&#8217;ll be more effective than making it a thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Here is a look at all of the results from UFC Freedom 250.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e4a4680067dd53b18a8b8ed831f03d4c7\">Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"eef32343c186765c17883e87a15fcc3c2\">Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"eaea70cdddf0dca2bcd08b5ec1e1ebb6f\">Sean O\u2019Malley vs. Aieman Zahabi<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e99884e9d2518fa2a7ebdf3f7ad29927e\">Josh Hokit def.

Steve Garcia via second-round KO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The event was packed with celebrities and stars like Triple H, Roman Reigns, Mark Zuckerberg, Tyson Fury and others. The historic outdoor venue created a different visual than any other UFC event in history. However, despite an event packed with finishes, the atmosphere was a bit dead due to the smaller crowd in the venue and a lack of overall energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/brianmazique\/2026\/06\/14\/josh-hokit-makes-crude-michelle-obama-insult-after-ko-at-ufc-freedom-250\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; JUNE 13: Josh Hokit reacts to the crowd during the UFC Freedom 250 ceremonial weigh-in at The Ellipse on June 13, 2026 in Washington, DC.
