Josh Hokit responds to Bruce Buffer's criticism

UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit resided to announcer Bruce Buffer's recent comments.

Undefeated UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit has responded to criticism from UFC commentator Bruce Buffer, who deemed Hokit "disrespectful." Buffer, the "Veteran voice of the Octagon," expressed his disapproval of Hokit's comments at the White House, where Hokit referred to former First Lady Michelle Obama as "a man" after his victory over Derrick Lewis.

Hokit fired back on his social media, stating that he talks trash in the Octagon and has no criminal record, yet he is not considered "classy" enough by Buffer. Hokit questioned the morality of aspiring to be role models in the gladiator business where his fellow fighters have criminal records. Hokit has challenged champion Ciryl Gane for the undisputed heavyweight title in the upcoming UFC 334 main event on November 14.
