UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit says he has no regrets about making a vulgar, conspiracy-based insult about former first lady Michelle Obama after his June victory at a White House fight event honoring President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday. Hokit defended the remarks as free speech and said he was pleased they drew attention on Trump’s Truth Social account, while acknowledging the White House may not have been the right venue. UFC CEO Dana White criticized the comments but said he also believes in free speech. Hokit is set to challenge heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 334 in New York.
