Josh Hokit’s UFC 327 Media-Day Stunt Draws Rebuke From Jiri Prochazka

Prochazka called the viral outburst attention seeking to keep focus on his title fight.

Overview

  • Josh Hokit turned UFC 327 media day into a skit, waving a toy lightsaber, talking about cutting up rivals, and using a Mexican accent with stereotype‑based jokes.
  • The scene began in a hotel lobby with Hokit confronting Jiri Prochazka, then moved onstage where he kept the bit going with a “human centipede” monologue.
  • Prochazka said he did not know Hokit, rejected the way he was addressed, and said he would not engage because the behavior was only about chasing attention.
  • Hokit is an undefeated heavyweight set to face Curtis Blaydes on Saturday in Miami, though coverage noted the stunt eclipsed talk of that matchup.
  • Prochazka fights Carlos Ulberg for the vacant light heavyweight title after Alex Pereira moved up, and he is expecting his first child shortly after the bout.
