Shane Gillis said he “didn’t like” Josh Hokit’s post-fight claim that Michelle Obama “is a man” after Hokit beat Derrick Lewis at Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn.
Hokit made the remark during his in-ring interview with Joe Rogan, drawing a mixed crowd reaction with some laughter and others appearing less amused.
Gillis, despite a career marked by backlash over offensive jokes and his 2019 firing from Saturday Night Live, repeated that he “didn’t love it” and “didn’t like that sh--.”
The White House card was staged for President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and was billed by UFC CEO Dana White as the first UFC event at the White House — and a one-time spectacle.
