Ilia Topuria has explained his decision to shut down Josh Hockitt during the press conference at the UFC White House event. Topuria questioned how Hockitt communicates with people and suggested that Hockitt was fortunate there was heavy security presence. He implied that without security, someone would have been knocked out, and that person would not have been him. The post includes poll options asking whether Topuria was right that Hockitt goes too far, or whether Hockitt is simply promoting himself. Details about what specifically Hockitt said to provoke this response are limited.
