An opinion piece suggests Josh Hokit has successfully generated buzz throughout fight week with his unusual promotional performances, making the entire MMA community talk about him. The author notes that Hokit has accomplished this without any criminal behavior or drug incidents, just theatrical performances he clearly planned and is now executing. However, the matchmaking is questioned, as Hokit was given Curtis Blaydes—described as a maximally difficult and strong opponent—after only his second UFC fight. The author sees no chance for Hokit in the matchup but would be happy to be proven wrong. The piece defends Hokit against critics who dislike his promotional approach.
