UFC fighter who said ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ responds after praise from Donald Trump: ‘I thought I was giving her a compliment’
The White House’s UFC 250 Freedom occasion, which was alleged to be a celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday, was overshadowed by a nasty second when fighter Josh Hokit yelled “Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” into the microphone after successful a struggle, eliciting some cheers from the viewers.
The White House known as the feedback “nasty and false,” and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy known as for United States President Donald Trump to formally denounce the feedback.

“There was one moment I do think Trump has to denounce, and anybody associated with it has to denounce,” Portnoy said. “And that’s that crazy fighter guy… He won the fight, he took the microphone, and he made a derogatory comment about Michelle Obama.”
“When you have that on the White House lawn on an event you put on, I don’t care what you think about the Obamas or anything, that has to be an immediate denounce,” Portnoy continued. “I have no problem with the event. I guess you run that risk because these guys are lunatics. But that was the only thing; Trump should denounce it. He should say it was totally wrong.”
Rather than make any form of denouncement, Trump praised Hokit and different fighters on Truth Social after the occasion.
“The Fighters were outstanding — Bo Nickal, Justin Gaethje, Ciryl Gane, Sean O’Malley, Josh Hokit, Mauricio Ruffy, and Diego Lopes were all unbelievable! Most people have never seen anything like that kind of human speed and power before,” the President wrote on Social Truth.

His aspect of issues
Now, Hokit is explaining what he meant by his controversial assertion, however his rationale is far-fetched, to say the least.
“I thought I was giving her a compliment,” Hokit said. “I don’t think anyone viewed it as Michelle Obama being a man. It’s more like she knows how to deal with adversity; she knows how to work hard like a man when the times get tough.
“It was a excellent alternative to point out the world how nice this nation is with freedom of speech… In different components of the world, you say one thing like that and also you die. That’s one factor about my profession… You’ll by no means hear me backtrack from what I say.”

Hopefully, the absurdity of Hokit’s most up-to-date feedback will result in an official, extra measured response and denouncement from Trump.
