Josh Hokit continues to make waves along with his feedback about Michelle Obama on the UFC’s White Home card, and a five-promotion titleholder who held gold within the UFC wasn’t eager to reply to the controversial heavyweight. On the night time Cyborg retained her Bellator MMA featherweight crown towards Cat Zingano at Bellator 300, Hokit really made his skilled MMA debut within the first combat of the night time.
The one that promoted that card was Scott Coker, somebody that Cyborg has numerous historical past with, and when providing up her ideas concerning Coker getting again into the MMA promotional sport, Cyborg mentioned [via Bowks Talking Bouts],
“I’m actually completely happy. Scott Coker again and saying the brand new promote occasion as a result of he’s an actual, legit martial artist. He’s actually perceive the fighters as a result of earlier than he’s combating. He has an important historical past. He’s doing this for 35 years and also you see all the large promotion, he begin little and his develop up, develop the occasion and open the door for lots of people.”
“The particular person has opened the door for me and I’m actually completely happy as a result of actually the fighters want one other occasions to place the work. For the enhance their video games to enhance the every thing so I’m completely happy have yet another to return.”
Josh Hokit attracts the ire of many, however evidently not Cris Cyborg
Referring to the aforementioned elements that tied collectively Cris Cyborg and Josh Hokit, when requested if she had a response to Hokit’s inflammatory feedback concerning the previous First Woman, Cyborg acknowledged [via Bowks Talking Bouts],
“No, I don’t need to get into this.”
This sits in a curious broader context with Cyborg taking problem with related claims made towards her by Dana White years in the past, the place he quote, mentioned she seemed like “Wanderlei Silva in a costume”. It turns into particularly curious when you think about that White himself disavowed Hokit’s feedback concerning the former First Woman on the White Home, but the previous UFC featherweight champ wouldn’t.
