At the UFC 328 media day in New Jersey, Josh Hockit confronted Alex Pereira in an unusual encounter. Hockit stopped in front of the Brazilian champion and stared at him silently for approximately one minute before walking away. After the confrontation, Pereira simply commented that Hockit is crazy, according to journalist Robbie Fox. The post notes that Hockit has been calling out Pereira since his last fight and speculates about whether Pereira will respond to Hockit's provocations at the upcoming press conference. The fighters are scheduled to compete at the White House event.
