Summary
Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview Sunday night to say, “Michelle Obama is a man” after beating Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn.
Joe Rogan did not respond to the remark, closing the interview with “Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit,” while videos posted online captured a mixed crowd reaction of laughter and apparent surprise.
Paramount+ streamed the event, putting the moment on a platform whose parent company has faced scrutiny over its settlement of Donald Trump’s lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview and recent departures at CBS’s newsmagazine.
Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Mark Zuckerberg, Dana White and other high-profile guests attended the White House card, amplifying the visibility of Hokit’s comment.
