Josh Hokit debuted in MMA at Bellator 300 in October 2023, where he appeared as a normal, respectful fighter thanking his coaches, parents, and fans. However, in 2024 he adopted an exaggerated character persona, constantly performing antics at weigh-ins and interviews. While this behavior generates views for social media content creators, the constant act has become tiresome to watch. His January interview with Ariel Helwani was particularly unwatchable as he maintained the wild persona throughout. The author suggests Hokit needs to show moderation in his character work rather than performing it constantly.
