Josh Hokit Clashes with Jiri Prochazka, Delivers Unusual ‘Human Centipede’ Promo
Josh Hokit, an undefeated heavyweight fighter, aims to make headlines as he gears up for his upcoming bout. At UFC 327 media day, tensions escalated when Hokit and Jiri Prochazka confronted each other in a hotel lobby. A video from Gifdsports captures their heated exchange just before Hokit was set to speak.
Verbal Clash and Bizarre Promo
During the confrontation, Prochazka told Hokit, “Stay where you are,” but Hokit, brandishing a prop, responded aggressively, threatening to harm Prochazka and claiming he could “stitch your head on Alex Pereira’s body.” This moment marked the end of their interaction, but Hokit’s antics continued as he delivered an unusual promo on stage.
Human Centipede Reference
Hokit shocked the audience with a surreal narrative, declaring, “Listen, I’m going to take out No. 4 and I’m going to saw off his head and put it on Alex Pereira’s body.” He then detailed an absurd scenario involving a “human centipede” scenario that left many bewildered. His performance escalated in bizarre intensity, as he shifted to a caricatured accent while making inappropriate jokes based on stereotypes.
Continuing the Confrontation
When reporters asked about his earlier confrontation with Prochazka, Hokit defended his bravado, asserting, “I’m the downest vato in the world.” He emphasized his willingness to fight anyone without the need for weight limits, denouncing weight-cutting practices as cowardly.
Upcoming Fights
Despite their clash, Hokit and Prochazka are not set to face each other soon. Hokit is scheduled to fight veteran Curtis Blaydes, who is currently ranked in the top ten of heavyweight contenders. Meanwhile, Prochazka will compete against Carlos Ulberg for the light heavyweight title, which was recently vacated by Alex Pereira due to his move to heavyweight.
