Many fans expected a show, and fans got what they wanted and then some. Constant knockouts permeated the night, but perhaps the biggest blow was inflicted by Hokit in a post-fight interview.<\/p>\n<p>Hokit threw seemingly the biggest punch he could think of and called former first lady Michelle Obama &#8220;a man&#8221; in front of Trump, who was seen sitting rindside. The shot resulted in an overwhelming number of reactions, including one from Samuel. Samuel called out Hokit over the comments in a post on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Josh Hokit I hope you step on a rusty nail dipped in paint thinner, acid, rat poison, antifreeze, gasoline etc,&#8221; he posted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\">\n<p>Looking to predict NFL playoff Scenarios?

In a post about 45 minutes later, which was edited at 7:45 am EST, Asante Samuel predicted that Trump would set up an NFL contest at the White House.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let me guess what\u2019s next from Donald Trump\u2026 I bet he will try to build a stadium and host a NFL football game at the White House,&#8221; he posted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, the prediction raises many questions and factors to consider. In terms of real estate, a UFC fight requires much less space than an NFL stadium on average. A football field is 100 yards long, while a UFC octagon is much smaller.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Trump has had a long-time positive relationship with Dana White, which laid the groundwork to make a UFC White House contest possible. The president has gone on record multiple times with negative thoughts or feelings about the league.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, he claimed that football as a sport needed a name change to make room for soccer. Long before that, he was a perceived enemy of the league after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/colin-kaepernick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Colin Kaepernick&#8217;s<\/a> infamous kneeling controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, while the UFC White House card proved anything is possible, the roadblocks to getting an NFL game on White House property appear much larger.<\/p>\n<p>Will Trump manage to fit in an NFL contest in the second half of his second term?<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Ian Van Roy<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-asante-samuel-torches-josh-hokit-calling-michelle-obama-man-donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asante Samuel, Josh Hokit and Donald Trump all had reason to pay attention to UFC on Sunday night as the unprecedented card took place on White House property.
