The baseless remark was made during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, directly addressing Donald Trump, who was present in the front row. Earlier in the celebrations, Hokit had given Trump his chain, but Trump rembulletioved it shortly after the fighter's comment regarding Obama. Hokit's conduct throughout the fight week was marked by various controversial incidents, including referencing main-event fighter Ilia Topuria's divorce at a press conference and feigning sickness at the weigh-ins. Despite his polarising behaviour, Hokit maintained his undefeated professional record, advancing to 10-0 following his third-round knockout win against former title challenger Lewis.
