Josh Hawkett delivers bizarre media day speech targeting Curtis Blaydes

Josh Hawkett made headlines at UFC 327 media day with an extremely unusual and graphic speech directed at Curtis Blaydes. Hawkett proclaimed he would defeat Blaydes and proceeded to describe a disturbing scenario involving multiple ranked heavyweights in grotesque terms. The bizarre callout referenced attaching Blaydes' head to Alex Pereira's body and creating a "human centipede" involving the number two and number three ranked fighters. Hawkett, who fights under the nickname "The Incredible Hulk," concluded by saying he would walk this creation on a leash in his yard. The strange nature of his comments drew comparisons to Gene Silva's eccentric behavior and left observers questioning his mindset heading into the fight.
