Curtis Blaydes is NOT happy about Josh Hokit's antics heading into UFC 327. Blaydes straight up told media that Hokit's trash talk is "going to come back and bite you in the ass," and you can tell Razor is ready to make a statement. Hokit's been getting some serious hype as a potential breakout star, but he's about to find out what heavyweight reality feels like. Here's the thing. Blaydes is coming off a split decision win over Rizvan Kuniev back in June, where he landed 101 strikes and showed he can grind through three rounds.
If Blaydes is going to make Hokit pay for running his mouth, it happens early when that wrestling pressure starts breaking him down.
But before that? Two brutal knockout losses, including that 60 second destruction by Tom Aspinall for the interim title. The good news is Blaydes bounced back before with that nasty second round TKO of Jailton Almeida in 2024, so we know he can still finish guys. This is a massive test for Hokit, who doesn't have any UFC fights on record yet. Going from zero to facing a legit top heavyweight who's been in there with the absolute best is insane.
Blaydes has that wrestling base and heavy hands when he decides to let them go. The question is whether ring rust or those knockout losses have gotten in his head, because when Blaydes is confident, he's a nightmare matchup for anyone. Fans are wondering if this is Blaydes getting back on track or Hokit announcing himself in spectacular fashion. The trash talk has definitely added some spice to what could be a one sided beatdown or a shocking upset.
