Josh Hawkett delivered an extremely strange and disturbing speech at the media day, threatening Curtis Blaydes and other ranked fighters in graphic terms. He stated he would defeat Blaydes, then described creating a grotesque "human centipede" from the bodies of ranked light heavyweight contenders, including attaching Alex Pereira's body parts and walking the creation on a leash in his yard. The bizarre rant, which referenced his "Incredible Hulk" nickname, has drawn comparisons to Gene Silva's unconventional behaviour. The post's source is MMA Junkie, and commenters are questioning what Hawkett may have consumed before the appearance.
