Josh Hockett made a strange appearance at the UFC 327 media day, delivering unusual and graphic trash talk directed at the heavyweight division. He claimed he would defeat Curtis Blaydes and then described a disturbing fantasy involving multiple ranked heavyweights including Alex Pereira. Hockett's comments drew comparisons to recent unorthodox promotional tactics by other fighters. The outburst appears to be an attempt to generate attention ahead of his upcoming fight. His unconventional approach has raised questions about his mental state and promotional strategy.
