Facing widespread condemnation for his remarks, Hokit called himself “strong and courageous” on Instagram Monday. He told critics they can settle their beef with him in the octagon.
“Strong and Courageous!!” the obnoxious heavyweight began. “The only two reasons I joined this sport. If you exercise those every single day and back them up with hard work, the money and success will follow.
I’m not here to be liked.
I’m not here to be a role model.
I don’t care.
I’m here to succeed.
I’ll do whatever it takes to get where I want to go, and if you don’t like it…
Come beat me in a fight.”
In comments that he appeared to have at the ready after his win, Hokit told spectators at the White House and viewers on Paramount+: “Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?”

UFC boss Dana White was not amused. “Everyone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense,” he said.
Hokit took a beating elsewhere for his antics but apparently has gotten a pass from President Donald Trump and his administration so far.
The fifth-ranked heavyweight contender in UFC has stuck his foot in his mouth on multiple occasions. He called a Black fighter a “human gorilla,” said he’s “100% transphobic,” and wished he could report his mother, who is Mexican, to ICE.
