Josh Hockett showed a genuine, normal demeanor after his MMA debut at Bellator 300 in October 2023, thanking coaches, parents, and fans. However, this year he has adopted an exaggerated character, performing antics at weigh-ins and in interviews.

The author argues Hockett needs to show moderation in his antics or risk alienating audiences.
