Josh Hokit Thought Calling Michelle Obama a 'Man' Was a 'Compliment'

UFC fighter Josh Hokit defended his decision to call Michelle Obama a man following his victory over Derrick Lewis at the UFC Freedom 250 event. During an appearance on Ariel Helwani's show on June 23, the 28-year-old athlete claimed he believed the comment was a compliment. Hokit has since refused to apologize for the controversial statement, citing his right to freedom of speech as the primary justification for his remarks regarding the former First Lady.
