Kairouz Bros equip Josh Hokit with goggles for Ciryl Gane

A joke fight-preparation kit leaves the heavyweight considering a different outfit for his press conference.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 186,863 views a day, 13 times a normal first day on this channel (14,102).

Rugby headgear, an oversized groin cup and clear goggles aren't the usual gifts handed across at a UFC interview. Josh Hokit puts them on anyway, joining Kairouz Bros' joke about getting through his Ciryl Gane matchup safely.

The Australian channel's Short has reached roughly 274,000 views a little over a day after publication. Its estimated first-day audience was more than thirteen times the channel's usual start for Shorts.

This is comedy preparation, not a training session. The host presents each piece of protective equipment with a joke about illegal strikes, while cutaway fight footage supplies the illustrations. Hokit, already wearing sunglasses, gloves and a Yankees jersey, accepts the increasingly cumbersome additions.

The goggles prompt a practical consideration of their own. "I had goggles, but these are better goggles," Hokit says. He also floats taking the whole outfit beyond the interview: "I might actually just wear this stuff to the press conference."

That possibility runs through the comments. Viewers are guessing whether the goggles will make a press-conference appearance, with some extending the joke to his walkout.

The exchange sits alongside Kairouz Bros' longer New York interview with Hokit ahead of UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden. That conversation covers his trash talk and fight-week antics; here, the protective accessories do most of the work.
