White On Hokit Flipping Off Buffer At UFC 334

UFC president Dana White has weighed in on Josh Hokit giving Bruce Buffer the middle finger during the heavyweight's ring introduction at UFC 334 on Saturday night.

Hokit lost a decision to Ciryl Gane in the main event at Madison Square Garden, but not before flipping off the veteran announcer as Buffer called his name. The gesture appeared to catch Buffer off guard, per BJPenn.com.

White Calls It Another Line-Crossing Moment

At the post-fight press conference, White said the incident was typical of the controversial heavyweight. "That was pretty crazy, yeah. Nobody has ever flipped Buffer off before," White told reporters. "Did it cross the line? Everything the guy does crosses the line."

The UFC boss referenced Hokit's comments at the White House during the UFC Freedom 250 promotional event. "Look at what he said on the White House lawn. In a fight that's supposed to be for everybody," White said, according to the report. "I'd rather have him flip Bruce Buffer off every single fight than say that."

Gane retained his heavyweight title with the win, while Hokit's antics continue to trail his cage work. The heavyweight remains under contract with the promotion despite the ongoing headaches for White.
