Josh Hockett made an extremely strange and disturbing speech at media day for his upcoming fight. He stated he would defeat Curtis Blaydes, cut off his head, and attach it to Alex Pereira's body. Hockett then described creating a "human centipede" by connecting the bodies of the number 3, 2, and 1 ranked fighters in grotesque fashion, which he would then walk on a leash in his yard. The bizarre comments, delivered under his "Incredible Hulk" nickname, drew reactions questioning what substances he may have taken. The outlandish nature of the remarks has been compared to similar unusual behavior from fighter Jean Silva.
