went after Hokit for the comment<\/a>, as well as his cornball gimmick as a whole.<\/p>\n\u201cHe started his post-fight interview, and he was going to do one of those gimmicky things that honestly I think is lame,\u201d Cormier said. \u201cHe could have left, and he could have made more fans than he walked in there with because they would have gotten to see Josh Hokit. But instead, he goes and says the thing about Michelle Obama … I absolutely hated that. He needs to do better.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe needs to do better because it looks like he\u2019s going to have a good career in UFC, and he\u2019s going to have a ton of time to work his way toward the championship, or at least fight for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Well, Hokit saw Cormier\u2019s criticism and fired back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been nothing but nice to this fat cow pig,\u201d Hokit wrote on social media. \u201cI\u2019m not here for unity, in reality there will never be unity … I come to divide people\u2019s faces … if you don\u2019t like it, then come do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, yeah, looks like Hokit and Cormier won\u2019t be friendly anymore.<\/p>\n
Hokit has not walked back his comments and has essentially doubled down by going after everyone who has criticized him. Whether that helps him gain more attention or eventually blows up in his face remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
For now, though, Hokit remains undefeated, remains controversial, and remains one of the hottest rising names in UFC\u2019s Heavyweight division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Hokit doesn\u2019t care about unity.
