Josh Hewitt has been criticized for adopting an exaggerated, disruptive persona in his recent public appearances. Following his Bellator 300 debut in October 2023, Hewitt presented himself as a normal, grateful fighter thanking his team and fans. However, this year he has fully embraced an over-the-top character, particularly during weigh-ins and interviews. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Hewitt maintained his wild persona throughout, making it difficult to watch. The post notes that while this behavior generates social media engagement, Hewitt was caught dropping the act immediately after filming ended, apologizing to those present.
