Hokit Defies Dana White: 'Never Regret' Michelle Obama Comment

Josh Hokit has adamantly refused to apologize for a comment he made about Michelle Obama at the White House in June. The undefeated heavyweight stated he will "never" regret the remark, even after significant backlash from prominent figures in the UFC. UFC CEO Dana White described the comment as "disgusting" and "inappropriate," while commentator Daniel Cormier called it "irresponsible, nasty, horrible, and unnecessary."

Hokit, who is preparing for a title fight, defended his statement by claiming the White House represented freedom of speech and was the "perfect location" for his remarks. He suggested the controversy is part of his strategy to be remembered. Despite White's strong disapproval, Hokit insists his actions contribute to his legacy in the sport.
