Blaydes and Hockit face off before UFC 327 heavyweight bout

Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hockit completed their first face-off ahead of their fight at UFC 327. The staredown was part of the official fight week media obligations. Both heavyweight fighters will compete on the upcoming card in what has become a highly talked-about matchup. The face-off represents one of the traditional pre-fight promotional events. Given Hockit's recent bizarre trash talk campaign, the face-off was likely highly anticipated by fans and media.
