Undefeated UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit doesn’t aspire to be a role model.
The polarizing fighter has been criticized by several high-profile industry personalities, including UFC CEO Dana White, for certain comments. “Veteran voice of the Octagon” Bruce Buffer recently stated that he views Hokit as ‘disrespectful,’ and Hokit responded.
“I think he’s disrespectful, and sorry, Josh if you’re watching, but it’s just the way it is. This is his thing. It’s his game. It’s not my style,” Buffer said on a live stream with Kick streamer N3on. “It’s like, show some class; that is just the way I am. The things he said at the White House, I am sorry, but I did not appreciate that.”
Buffer was referencing “The Incredible Hok” calling former First Lady Michelle Obama “a man” following his UFC Freedom 250 win over win over Derrick Lewis in June.
Hokit fired back at Buffer on social media. “I talk trash in the Octagon, but guys on this roster have actual criminal records and rape charges,” Hokit posted on X. “I have no criminal record, yet I’m not classy enough? You realize we are in the gladiator business, right? Should men who try to kill other men, really be your role model? Lol,” he wrote on X.
