Josh Hewitt made headlines with an extremely unusual and graphic speech during media day ahead of his upcoming bout. The heavyweight fighter delivered a disturbing monologue in which he threatened to decapitate Curtis Blaydes and attach his head to Alex Pereira's body, then create a grotesque "human centipede" arrangement involving other top-ranked fighters that he would keep on a leash in his yard. The bizarre nature of his comments has drawn comparisons to fellow fighter Jean Silva's unconventional media appearances. Details about the context or motivation for Hewitt's outburst are limited in the post. The incident occurred at an MMA Junkie media event and has generated significant attention on social media.
