With a late addition to the cardboard that noticed Hokit face Derrick Lewis in a heavyweight qualifying match, the now-defunct “Unbelievable Hook” star appeared at a press convention in character, spewing rhetoric aimed toward Lewis and making an attempt to make Lewis indignant. Lewis did not promote Hokit’s antics in any respect, however Hokit turned his consideration to Alex Pereira, who was equally detached. However Hokit’s antics have been eclipsed by one man: light-weight champion Ilia Topuria.
As Hokit continued to insult Poitan, Topuria, who was sitting subsequent to Pereira, lastly obtained bored and spoke out towards Hokit’s antics, inflicting Hokit to show his consideration to Topuria.
“You bastard, you bastard!” cried Hokit. “I’m an actual BMF Belt! I’m a brief dwarf!
“Please rise to the actual ranks! I will give it to anybody! I do not give a shit!”
Seemingly unconcerned by the dimensions distinction, Topria stood up and appeared able to get bodily with Hokit, however safety rapidly intervened and prevented the 2 from getting collectively. Topria throws one thing at Hokit, which de-escalates the scenario for a second till safety escorts Hokit out of the occasion.
After Hokit left, Poitin and Topuria shook fingers, Dana White stopped the press, and Derrick Lewis exclaimed, “We obtained him,” simply earlier than the stage cleared and the faceoff started. As a result of Hokit was escorted out, he and Lewis didn’t face off on the occasion.
