Josh Howitt made headlines at a UFC media day with an extremely unusual and graphic speech directed at Curtis Blaydes and other top heavyweights. Howitt threatened to decapitate Blaydes and attach his head to Alex Pereira's body, then described creating a grotesque "human centipede" from ranked fighters that he would walk on a leash. The bizarre monologue referenced multiple top-ranked heavyweights in disturbing fashion, with Howitt adopting his "Incredible Hulk" persona. The outlandish comments have drawn comparisons to similar unconventional media appearances. While clearly intended as psychological warfare or entertainment, the speech was notably strange even by MMA trash talk standards.
