Josh Hokit turns UFC 334 press conference into a singalong

MMA Junkie's edit captures the heavyweight challenger leading chants, drawing a sharp response from Ciryl Gane and getting the New York crowd involved.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 175,613 views a day, 22 times a normal first day on this channel (7,815).

Ciryl Gane had heard enough. "Shut up. Shut up," he told Josh Hokit, who was busy turning their UFC 334 press conference into a crowd-participation routine.

MMA Junkie's highlights edit has passed 200,000 views, with comments arriving more than fifty times faster than on the channel's usual first day for a Short. Hokit supplies most of the noise: explicit chants, personal taunts and a farewell singalong aimed at the champion he is challenging for the heavyweight title.

This is a step beyond the roast notes Hokit brought to media day, as we reported here. At Madison Square Garden, he gets the audience doing some of the delivery. Asked for a message to the division, he predicts the end of Gane's career and leads the room in "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." Gane responds in French during another exchange; Hokit keeps interrupting.

The comments pick up on more than the insults. Viewers point to Amanda Nunes's dab and cheering, while one compares the crowd response with Conor McGregor's press-conference days. The edit ends with Hokit walking over to fist-bump Kevin Holland.

MMA Junkie's quieter fight-week business is drawing unusual attention, too. Its weigh-in Shorts for Gane-Hokit and Kayla Harrison-Amanda Nunes both started far above the channel's norm, with all four fighters making weight for their title bouts.
