Josh Hockett made headlines with an extremely unusual and graphic speech during a UFC media day appearance. The heavyweight contender delivered a rambling monologue in which he threatened to decapitate Curtis Blaydes and create a grotesque assemblage involving other ranked fighters. Hockett stated he would defeat Blaydes, then described creating a "human centipede"-like construction using body parts from ranked contenders, which he would keep on a leash in his yard. The bizarre comments drew comparisons to fellow fighter Gene Silva and left observers questioning Hockett's mental state. The media day appearance was captured by MMA Junkie and quickly circulated on social media.
