Blaydes says Hewett trying to be like Covington, calls pre-fight interaction a waste of time

Кёртис Блейдс commented on Josh Hewett's provocative behavior ahead of their upcoming fight. Blaydes compared Hewett's approach to Колби Ковингтон's persona, though he gave Covington credit for actually backing up his talk with performance. Blaydes stated he won't engage with Hewett's antics, calling any interaction outside of fight night a waste of time. He believes Hewett is simply trying to create viral video moments rather than engaging in genuine promotion. Blaydes made clear he has no interest in participating in that style of pre-fight buildup.
