Josh Hockitt delivers crude insult directed at Curtis Blaydes

Josh Hockitt made an extremely vulgar comment about Curtis Blaydes ahead of their scheduled bout. Hockitt's statement attacked Blaydes' appearance in graphic terms, using crude sexual imagery. The comments represent an escalation in pre-fight trash talk and appear designed to provoke a reaction. Hockitt has been engaging in increasingly bizarre promotional behavior leading up to UFC 327. Such extreme rhetoric is uncommon even by UFC pre-fight standards and has drawn attention to the heavyweight matchup.
