The heavyweight prospect was a hot topic during UFC 327 media day, though not necessarily for positive reasons. First, Hokit was captured on video by Gifdsports having a verbal altercation with light heavyweight Jiri Prochazka.

“Stay where you are,” Prochazka said.
“I’ll cut you up with this lightsaber, homie,” Hokit said, prop in hand. “And then —ing stitch your head on Alex Pereira’s body, homie.”
It’s unclear what led to the brief altercation.
From there, Hokit proceeded to cut a couple of bizarre promos — even by his standards — during his media day session. “The Incredible Hok” has become well known for his pro-wrestling inspired interviews during his UFC tenure.
Hokit also tried to engage Carlos Ulberg, but the light heavyweight title contender chose not to acknowledge the attempt.
Hokit will take a big step up in competition on Saturday when he faces Curtis Blaydes on the UFC 327 main card at the Kaseya Center in Miami. After earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, the 28-year-old Jackson-Wink MMA representative kicked off his UFC tenure with first-round stoppages of Max Gimenis and Denzel Freeman.
