Josh Haquit has adopted an exaggerated persona this year after being more normal previously. Video from his MMA debut at Bellator 300 in October 2023 shows him giving a straightforward interview thanking coaches, parents and fans. Even six months ago he behaved normally, but in 2026 he started playing up a wild character at weigh-ins and other events. While this works for short-form content, the post suggests constant antics become tiresome, citing an unwatchable January interview with Ariel Helwani where Haquit acted crazy throughout. The author argues Haquit needs to find balance rather than constantly performing.
