Josh Hokit’s moronic antics say far more about him than his fighting ability

A UFC fight week has a typical cadence. 

Wednesday is media day. Thursday night centers on the press conference. Friday is weigh-ins, the official ones in the morning and the ceremonial variety in the afternoon — after everyone’s had their long-deprived sustenance. Saturday night, of course, is the big show. 

The “press conference” label hardly applies to Thursday’s festivities; it’s often more of a three-ring circus. Actual news conferences tend to go down Wednesday. 

On those days, the dozen or so fighters made available tend to do the same thing: stride from outside a hotel conference room to a seat at a table on a little stage, take a swig of water and await seated reporters’ questions.
