Josh Hokit won his bout at the UFC Freedom 250 event on Sunday night and then surprised the crowd with a shocking statement.

Hokit fought fellow heavyweight Derrick Lewis in the event, held on the White House lawn, and won. After the match, he gave an interview to Joe Rogan.

At the end of the interview, he said: “Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?”

In videos posted online, some in the crowd could be heard laughing while others seemed to be surprised by the comments.

Rogan did not address the comments, saying only: “Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit.”
