Josh Hokit kicked off his UFC 334 media day by roasting several UFC fighters, including former double champion, Daniel Cormier.
Ahead of his heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane at UFC 334 this coming Saturday, Josh Hokit spoke to the media during media day this Wednesday afternoon.
As he usually does, ‘The Incredible Hok’ quickly transformed into his character before launching verbal attacks on the likes of Daniel Cormier, Kayla Harrison, Alex Pereira and others.
Hokit and Gane faced off for the first time earlier this week as they squared off in Times Square, adding to the anticipation and excitement for their title clash.
As he usually does, the 28-year-old began his media day by getting into his ‘Incredible Hok’ character, before taking aim at several UFC stars. “Alex Pereira, I know in Brazil you don’t pronounce R’s, so I’ll make you feel at home, you’re ‘etarded’. Boom, roasted. The last time (Daniel Cormier) has gone three rounds was at an all you can eat buffet. Kayla Harrison’s d— is so big, Ciryl Gane sucked it.
“I asked Ciryl Gane if he’s ever been to the Eiffel Tower, he said, ‘Yes, last night when my boyfriend brought a friend over’. Joaquin Buckley acts like a white girl broke his heart, Joaquin Buckley, the black Karen. (Stephen Thompson) said he’s retiring after this fight, that’s too bad, if he would just stick around, get KO’d five times in a row, maybe in 10 years he could box Jake Paul,” he continued.
Daniel Cormier has a publicly mixed stance on Hokit, having criticized some of his controversial comments in the past, while also supporting the fact that he has become one of the biggest stars in the promotion because of his skills on the microphone. His comments on Harrison come entirely out of left field, with her competing in the co-main event against Amanda Nunes.
Fans have become more than used to Hokit’s personality on the microphone and it is likely that he was once again attempting to gain fans by getting a viral clip ahead of his first title fight. Despite that, previous controversial comments he has made have led to him being disliked by UFC boss, Dana White.
White condemned Hokit’s comments about Michelle Obama after his UFC Freedom 250 win, as the comments ended up making their way to the mainstream media, which was bad publicity for the promotion. With a win over ‘Bon Gamin’ on Saturday night, ‘The Incredible Hok’ could potentially set up a huge fight at heavyweight.
The aforementioned Pereira is in action at UFC 335, and with a win over Sergei Pavlovich, ‘Poatan’ could finally book a meeting with Hokit, in what would be one of the biggest fights the promotion could put together.
