Josh Hockit made headlines at the UFC 327 media day with an extremely unusual speech involving disturbing imagery. Hockit stated he would defeat Curtis Blaydes, then described creating a grotesque "human centipede" by surgically attaching body parts of various ranked fighters together, which he would keep on a leash in his yard. The bizarre comments referenced cutting off Blaydes' head and attaching it to Alex Pereira's body, then connecting ranked fighters in a similar fashion. The outburst has drawn significant attention on social media, with observers questioning Hockit's mental state and comparing him to another fighter known for unusual behavior, Jean Silva.
