Josh Hockett's behavior has notably changed since his MMA debut at Bellator 300 in October 2023, when he appeared as a normal, respectful fighter who thanked his coaches, parents, and fans. Over the past year, Hockett has adopted an exaggerated persona characterized by antics at weigh-ins and constant clowning for social media content. While this benefits content creators who rely on views, the post suggests his constant performing has become tiresome. An interview with Ariel Helwani in January was cited as particularly unwatchable due to Hockett maintaining his over-the-top character throughout. The post notes that after a recent filming session ended, Hockett immediately dropped the act and apologized to those present, saying "Sorry for all this, guys."
