I’ll be the first to admit I had reservations about hosting a UFC event at the White House. After watching it, I was wrong.
The backdrop of the White House, the military presence, the flyover, the national anthem, and the overall production value made for a tremendous event that celebrated America in a way that was extremely entertaining.
That said, Josh Hokit’s comments about the former First Lady were disgusting, unnecessary, and had no place at an event intended to celebrate our country and its 250th anniversary. Moments like that detract from what was otherwise a spectacular showcase of America.
Overall, the event exceeded my expectations and served as a powerful tribute to our nation’s history, military, and spirit.
