UFC CEO Dana White denounced fighter Josh Hokit for calling former first lady Michelle Obama “a man” at Sunday’s Freedom 250 event at the White House.
“I understand that the Obama’s are public figures but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families,” White told Time magazine in a text message. “Everyone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.”
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who backed Trump in 2024, called on the president to condemn Hokit’s comment.
