Ilia Topuria stepped in to support Alex Pereira during a press conference incident that resulted in Josh Hokit being removed from the event. The post indicates this occurred after some form of disruption or confrontation involving Hokit. Specific details about what Topuria said or did to intervene were not provided in the brief post. The incident led to Hokit's ejection from the press conference venue. This appears to be related to the disruptive behavior mentioned in other coverage of the UFC 328 promotional events.
