- Retired fighter Matt Brown believes Hokit’s polarizing persona is beneficial for the sport, comparing his antics to Conor McGregor’s and cautioning about crossing lines that could alienate fans.
- Brown highlighted a recent controversial comment by Hokit about Michelle Obama as a potential boundary that, if crossed further, might turn people off from him.
