Quick read
Josh Hocket has delivered a vulgar and personal insult directed at Curtis Blaydes, making offensive remarks about Blaydes' parents and appearance. The Australian heavyweight's comments represent some of the most aggressive trash talk in recent UFC promotional buildup. Hocket's strategy appears designed to get under Blaydes' skin and generate publicity for their heavyweight contest. The insult was part of a broader campaign of unusual promotional behavior from Hocket. His approach has been polarizing, with some questioning whether it will backfire or successfully build interest in the fight.
