However, &#8216;The Incredible Hok&#8217; decided to roast them all at once this time with a diss track. Hokit dubbed the track &#8220;MSG FREESTYLE by J-Word&#8221; and released it on his social media accounts and YouTube a few hours ago.<\/p>\n<p>The 2:27 track addresses several noted UFC stars, including <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/fighters\/ilia-topuria\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ilia Topuria<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/fighters\/alex-pereira\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Pereira<\/a>, besides focusing on Hokit&#8217;s primary target for the time being, <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/fighters\/ciryl-gane\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ciryl Gane<\/a>. Surprisingly, the former Bellator fighter also fired at the USA&#8217;s former first lady in his work of art.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Hokit Derides Michelle Obama and an MMA GOAT Contender in His Diss Track<\/p>\n<p>Hokit&#8217;s brash mouth has also been one of his biggest selling points besides his commendable skills inside the octagon. The undefeated fighter doesn&#8217;t shy away from trading verbal jabs with his opponents whom he can&#8217;t stand. During the UFC Freedom 250 press conference, Hokit looked more interested in firing shots at Alex Pereira and Ilia Topuria instead of talking about his scheduled opponent, <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/fighters\/derrick-lewis\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Derrick Lewis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old resorted to the same approach of deriding multiple foes at once in his diss track. Nevertheless, he didn&#8217;t lose focus this time, starting with his scheduled heavyweight title opponent, Gane.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hokit&#8217;s intro ad-libs roasting the Frenchman read, &#8220;Hey Ciryl Gane, come outside. We won&#8217;t jump you, ha ha ha.&#8221; Subsequently, he went on to deride the USA&#8217;s former First Lady, Michelle Obama, and his UFC foe, Alex Pereira, in the initial lines of his song,\u00a0 &#8220;Di*k bigger than Michelle Obama. Alex Pereira, gonna Chama on your mama.  I don&#8217;t play about the drama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Hokit addressed active UFC fighters like Tom Aspinall, Derrick Lewis, and Ilia Topuria in his following disses, he also fired at the widely accepted MMA GOAT contender, <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/fighters\/jon-jones\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jon Jones<\/a>, at the 50-second mark. Hokit took a book out of Chael Sonnen&#8217;s book to compare Jones with the music personality, Sean &#8216;Diddy&#8217; Combs, infamous for the &#8216;White Party&#8217; scandal and much more.<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics went, &#8220;Jon Jones moves like Sean Combs. On go with a lost pro.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of Jon Jones in Hokit&#8217;s track suggests that he also has his eyes on the MMA GOAT contention. But it might appear shocking to many that Hokit also dragged Michelle Obama into his diss track.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Hokit has derided the former US First Lady. His lyrics about Michelle were a reiteration of his startling statement during his UFC Freedom 250 octagon interview, where he labeled her a &#8220;man&#8221; out of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the 28-year-old made the statement to impress POTUS Donald Trump cannot be said, but it triggered a wave of backlash, causing Hokit to clarify during an episode of The Ariel Helwani Show that his remarks were a &#8220;compliment&#8221; for Michelle&#8217;s capacity to handle adversities &#8220;like a man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But with his lyrics making his purpose far clearer this time, Hokit should start looking for an explanation to justify himself besides &#8220;training,&#8221; as he claimed in his track. It will be interesting to watch if &#8216;The Incredible Hok&#8217; manages to resist the backfiring of his remarks by capturing the undisputed heavyweight title with a victory at UFC 334.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While fighters often trade barbs, Josh Hokit put together a diss track roasting multiple UFC fighters he can&#8217;t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":949802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[11159,64,63,29968,786,8812,17499,62454,785,85,787,340341],"class_list":["post-949801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-alex-pereira","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-ciryl-gane","tag-fighting","tag-heavyweight","tag-ilia-topuria","tag-josh-hokit","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-freedom-250-topuria-vs-gaethje"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=949801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/949802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
