Watch: Josh Hokit chokes fan unconscious at wild meet-and-greet

Josh Hokit, a rising star in the UFC, has gained notoriety for his controversial behavior. In just 10 months with the promotion, the heavyweight has won all four of his bouts. Now, he is set to face Frenchman Ciryl Gane for the vacant UFC heavyweight title. Despite the impending big fight, Hokit has chosen to remain in the public eye by participating in meet-and-greets.

During one such event, a fan requested Hokit to choke him, which he agreed to do. The wrestler held the fan in a rear naked choke for a few seconds until the man's body went limp. As Hokit prepared to help the fan regain consciousness, the man began convulsing and twitching before finally waking up. In a peculiar turn of events, the fan's first action after regaining consciousness was to get a drink of water, rather than rising to his feet or looking around in confusion.

This incident has once again brought attention to Hokit's unpredictable behavior, raising questions about the nature of his interactions with fans.
