Analysis of Josh Hoquette's behavioral changes since his MMA debut at Bellator 300 in October 2023. The post describes how Hoquette was initially humble and genuine, thanking his coaches, parents, and fans after his first fight.

The piece suggests that Hoquette needs to learn moderation in his antics, as constant performative behavior quickly becomes tiresome for audiences.
