Josh Hockett made an extremely crude and offensive comment directed at Curtis Blaydes ahead of their scheduled bout. Hockett made a vulgar statement about Blaydes' parents and appearance in what appears to be an attempt at trash talk. The comment represents an escalation in Hockett's unusual pre-fight behavior and promotion tactics. This is part of a pattern of bizarre conduct from Hockett in the lead-up to UFC 327. The nature of the insult crosses typical boundaries of MMA trash talk.
