Josh Hockit continues trash talk, targets Derrick Lewis, Ian Garry, Song Yadong

Josh Hockit has expanded his pre-fight verbal assault to include multiple UFC fighters beyond his upcoming opponent. In a series of brash statements, Hockit compared himself favourably to Derrick Lewis, Ian Garry, and Song Yadong, claiming to possess all their positive attributes while lacking their perceived weaknesses. He described himself as smarter than Lewis, tougher than Garry, and more well-endowed than Song. The comments are part of Hockit's ongoing campaign of provocative rhetoric leading up to his fight. His bizarre behaviour has reportedly generated unprecedented interest in his opponent Curtis Blaydes.
