Each men are interesting individuals outside of the cage and explosive inside it. And the differences between the pair were evident today as they bumped into each other on the fighter hotel ahead of their big weekend.<\/p>\n

Josh Hokit and Jiri Prochazka\u2019s clash at UFC 327 hotel goes viral<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s never a dull media day when Jiri Prochazka is involved \u2013 and evidently he got into it with the enigmatic Josh Hokit as they crossed paths in Miami. The previous NFL star is undefeated in eight fights, and already finds himself on the verge of a top five rating.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, it\u2019s his antics outside of the octagon and on the microphone which have really grabbed fans\u2019 attention. And he continued that this morning on the fighter hotel as he was heading in to make one other strange media day appearance.<\/p>\n

Hokit appeared to launch a lengthy diatribe at Prochazka in a Mexican accent while holding a toy lightsaber. He then headed into media day where he continued to do what he admitted was a personality, switching across multiple personalities.<\/p>\n

It seems that Hokit didn\u2019t really answer many questions, but he did respond when asked what had happened with Prochazka. \u201cI\u2019m just letting everybody know the way f\u2014ing down I’m homie,\u201d he said continuing his Mexican impression.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the downest vato on this planet, homie. I\u2019ll literally f\u2014ing take you down and show everybody homie while I f\u2014ing take it down homie. I\u2019m f\u2014ing down, dog, I don\u2019t care who you might be dog. We will make an open division, homie, and we will all fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cCutting weight is for cowards, homie, straight up. The down vato doesn\u2019t f\u2014ing cut no weight homie, straight up dog.\u201d<\/p>\n
