Josh Hockett made a strange appearance at media day with an unusual and graphic speech about his opponents. He threatened Curtis Blaydes specifically, saying he would defeat him and then made bizarre references to creating a "human centipede" involving ranked light heavyweight fighters including Alex Pereira. Hockett, who fights under the nickname "The Incredible Hulk," delivered the comments in a rambling fashion that left observers confused. The speech has drawn comparisons to fighter Jean Silva's unusual promotional tactics. The post includes reactions questioning what substances Hockett may have taken.
