Josh Hocket made a strange and graphic speech at media day ahead of his fight with Curtis Blaydes. He described plans to decapitate Blaydes and attach his head to Alex Pereira's body, then create a bizarre "human centipede" from ranked opponents that he would walk on a leash. The speech was compared to previous unusual comments from Gene Silva. Observers questioned what substances he may have taken before the appearance. Despite the shocking nature of his comments, they appear to be part of his attempt to generate attention before the bout.
