Comedian Shane Gillis expressed his disapproval of UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit’s post-fight remark about former first lady Michelle Obama. Hokit made the comment during a post-fight interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan, claiming without evidence that Michelle Obama is a man.

Reaction to the Comment

Gillis, who attended the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, told reporters he didn’t like Hokit’s remark. ‘I didn’t like that,’ he said. ‘But whatever, he was funny.’ Gillis has faced criticism in the past for his own controversial jokes and remarks.

The event marked the first UFC event ever hosted at the White House, and according to UFC President and CEO Dana White, it will be the last in history. The comment drew a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some attendees laughing while others appeared less amused.
