Josh Hokit\u2019s outrageous fight week ended with a bang as he stole Joe Rogan\u2019s microphone before an intense final face-off.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fast-rising heavyweight has fought just twice within the octagon, and gets a shot at a top five rating tomorrow night when he takes on Curtis Blaydes. He has taken over fight week together with his antics throughout, playing characters like \u2018The Incredible Hok\u2019 and \u2018The Down Vato\u2019.<\/p>\n

Use one word to explain Josh Hokit\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffc<\/h3>\n

Josh Hokit is widely considered considered one of the cringiest fighters on the roster, but what do you’re thinking that of him?\ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Fans are divided on Hokit\u2019s behaviour, with the final social media consensus being that his act is cringe-worthy. Nonetheless, he has undeniably garnered attention and made a fight with the otherwise quiet Blaydes arguably essentially the most interesting on the cardboard.<\/p>\n

Josh Hokit delivers outlandish ceremonial weigh-in for UFC 327<\/h2>\n

Despite getting an undeniable seal of disapproval from Dana White, nothing has stopped Josh Hokit from making headlines this week. Tonight was his final probability to get in front of the fans and media at ceremonial weigh-ins, and he made it count.<\/p>\n

First, he danced for the ring girls after coming on stage, before taking the microphone from Joe Rogan in a move that is actually unprecedented over lots of of events. \u201cDon\u2019t twist my noodle, toy poodle,\u201d he shouted. \u201cI\u2019m going to toast him like a toaster strudel.\u201d<\/p>\n

He finished the exchange by asking what has grow to be something of a catchphrase this week: \u201cAm I right Miami?\u201d Hokit was loudly booed walking to the scales, where he got here in at 233lb \u2013 a whopping 28lb lower than Blaydes.<\/p>\n

Their face-off was temporary and arguably the least noteworthy a part of your complete event because the wrestling standout refused to be drawn \u2013 yet again \u2013 into Hokit\u2019s antics. The controversial ex-NFL star then headed backstage for an interview with Megan Olivi where he performed his \u2018shy Josh\u2019 persona.<\/p>\n
