Josh Hocket made headlines at a media day event with an extremely unusual and graphic speech directed at his upcoming opponents and top-ranked fighters. The heavyweight contender stated he would defeat Curtis Blaydes and then described a series of disturbing hypothetical actions involving multiple ranked fighters including Alex Pereira. Hocket, who fights under the nickname "The Incredible Hulk," delivered the strange promo in what appears to be an attempt at psychological warfare or promotional tactics. The speech drew comparisons to Jean Silva's controversial statements and left observers questioning his mental state and approach to promotion.
