Topuria intervenes for Pereira, Hokit removed from UFC 328 presser

Following Ilia Topuria's intervention on behalf of Alex Pereira against Josh Hokit, security removed Hokit from the UFC 328 press conference. The incident occurred after Hokit verbally attacked Pereira and his family during the media event. Topuria stepped in to defend fellow champion Pereira from the insults. The removal of Hokit by security suggests the altercation was serious enough to warrant his ejection from the proceedings.
