Josh Howitt made a highly unusual appearance at the UFC media day with a disturbing and theatrical statement. He claimed he would defeat Curtis Blaydes, decapitate him, and attach his head to Alex Pereira's body, then create a grotesque "human centipede" by sewing together ranked fighters from positions three through one. Howitt said he would then walk this creation on a leash in his yard. The bizarre speech drew comparisons to Jhonny Silva and left observers questioning what he had taken before the appearance.
