Josh
\nHokit<\/a> is doing whatever he can to gain attention.<\/p>\n

The heavyweight prospect was a hot topic during UFC 327 media day,
\nthough not necessarily for positive reasons. First, Hokit was
\ncaptured on video by Gifdsports having a verbal altercation with
\nlight heavyweight Jiri
\nProchazka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay where you are,\u201d Prochazka said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll cut you up with this lightsaber, homie,\u201d Hokit said, prop in
\nhand. \u201cAnd then —ing stitch your head on Alex
\nPereira<\/a>\u2019s body, homie.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what led to the brief altercation.<\/p>\n

From there, Hokit proceeded to cut a couple of bizarre promos \u2014
\neven by his standards \u2014 during his media day session. \u201cThe
\nIncredible Hok\u201d has become well known for his pro-wrestling
\ninspired interviews during his UFC tenure.<\/p>\n

Hokit also tried to engage Carlos

\nacknowledge the attempt.<\/p>\n
