Josh Howitt delivered an unusual and disturbing speech during a media day appearance ahead of his bout. The heavyweight fighter stated he would defeat Curtis Blaydes and then described a grotesque scenario involving multiple ranked opponents. According to MMA Junkie's coverage, Howitt detailed a fantasy about severing Blaydes' head, attaching it to Alex Pereira's body, and creating a "human centipede" from ranked fighters that he would keep on a leash in his yard. The bizarre comments have drawn attention on social media, with observers questioning his mental state and comparing him to another eccentric fighter, Gene Silva. Details on the context or motivation behind the outburst remain limited.
