Josh Hockett made a shocking and disturbing statement at a media day event, delivering bizarre threats directed at various ranked light heavyweight fighters. He claimed he would decapitate Curtis Blaydes and attach his head to Alex Pereira's body, then create a grotesque "human centipede" structure by sewing together the bodies of the division's top-ranked fighters. Hockett said he would keep this creation on a leash in his yard, referring to himself as "The Incredible Hulk," his fighting nickname. The speech was characterized as extremely strange and generated reactions questioning what substances he may have taken. Media outlet MMAJunkie covered the unusual press appearance.
