Dana White has responded to Josh Hokit's comment about Michelle Obama, calling it 'stupid' while also defending the fighter's right to free speech.

Hokit referred to former First Lady Michelle Obama as a man during his post-fight interview at UFC Freedom 250.

Despite White calling the comment 'disgusting', Hokit was not fired, with White citing his support for free speech as the reason.

This is not the first time White has defended a fighter's right to free speech, with examples including Bryce Mitchell and Nate Diaz.
