Hokit is doing whatever he can to gain attention.
The heavyweight prospect was a hot topic during UFC 327 media day, though not necessarily for positive reasons. First, Hokit was captured on video by Gifdsports having a verbal altercation with light heavyweight Jiri Prochazka.
“Stay where you are,” Prochazka said.
“I’ll cut you up with this lightsaber, homie,” Hokit said, prop in hand. “And then f*cking stitch your head on Alex Pereira’s body, homie.”
It’s unclear what led to the brief altercation.
From there, Hokit proceeded to cut a couple of bizarre promos — even by his standards — during his media day session. “The Incredible Hok” has become well known for his pro-wrestling inspired interviews during his UFC tenure.
Hokit also tried to engage Carlos Ulberg, but the light heavyweight title contender chose not to acknowledge the attempt.
Hokit will take a big step up in competition on Saturday when he faces Curtis Blaydes on the UFC 327 main card at the Kaseya Center in Miami. After earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, the 28-year-old Jackson-Wink MMA representative kicked off his UFC tenure with first-round stoppages of Max Gimenis and Denzel Freeman.
