Josh Hockett displayed a humble and gracious demeanor after his MMA debut at Bellator 300 in October 2023, thanking coaches, parents, and fans in a normal manner. As recently as six months ago, Hockett maintained this authentic personality, but has since adopted an exaggerated character persona this year. His new approach includes antics at weigh-ins and constant clowning that generates content for social media platforms like reels and shorts. An interview with Ariel Helwani in January exemplified this shift, where Hockett portrayed himself as wildly unhinged throughout, making it difficult to watch. The post suggests that while this persona benefits content creators, maintaining the act constantly without moderation risks becoming tiresome for audiences.
