Heavyweight champ Josh Hokit, 28, yelled out “Michelle Obama is a man” after his win Sunday during the UFC Freedom 250 event hosted by President Donald Trump on the White House South Lawn.

“I understand that the Obama’s are public figures but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families,” White told TIME in a text message. “Everyone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.”
