Josh Howitt delivered a highly unusual and disturbing speech at UFC media day involving graphic violent imagery toward his opponents. He stated he would knock out Blades, remove his head, and attach it to Alex Pereira's body, then create a "human centipede" by attaching the number three ranked fighter to the number two's body, and the number two's head to number one's body. Howitt, nicknamed "The Incredible Hulk," said he would walk this creation on a leash in his yard. Social media reactions compared him to Jean Silva and questioned what he had taken. The speech was captured by MMA Junkie at the media event.
