Josh Hokit was not responsible for the weirdest moment at the UFC 334 ceremonial weigh-ins.

The UFC stars set to be in action Saturday night at Madison Square Garden faced off for the last time on stage.

As has become the case with every Josh Hokit fight week, fans were expecting shenanigans at the ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of his title challenge against heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane in the UFC 334 main event.

Aside from a dance as he made his way on stage, it was a largely toned-down display from ‘The Incredible Hok’, meaning it was another fighter who really left fans scratching their heads.

Bilal Hasan leaves Dana White unimpressed after taking down his trousers during UFC 334 face-off

Hokit was the main talking point from the official early morning weigh-ins.

He repeated his ‘drunk’ gimmick from the UFC White House weigh-ins after making his title fight against Gane this Saturday official. Hokit pretended to pass out on the scale for several minutes before exiting the stage.

With that in mind, Dana White and co. may have been braced for a similar stunt on stage during the UFC 334 ceremonial weigh-ins in New York City.

Instead, it was Bilal Hasan who stole the strangeness spotlight.

The 10-0 flyweight will fight Luis Gurule on November 14, marking his second UFC bout since earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in August.

But the UFC president may have been rethinking that decision from three months ago as he watched Hasan pull down his trousers during his face-off with Gurule.

White looked visibly unimpressed after Hasan ‘pantsed’ himself on stage, an act that was not surpassed by Hokit when the UFC 334 main event title challenger arrived.

It is safe to say that White was not the only one unamused by Hasan’s stunt.

On social media, a number of fans seemingly decided to root for Gurule at UFC 334 instead after watching their face-off on stage.

“How does he manage to make everything corny?”

“He’s so odd, man.”

“Corniest fighter on the roster. I need him slumped out cold.”

“Enough of this plant already.”

“Yeah, I sold my stock. This kid is a dork.”

“Strange.”
