Curtis Blaydes remains stoic as Josh Hockit tries to provoke at face-off

Curtis Blaydes maintained his indifferent demeanor during the face-off with Josh Hockit ahead of their UFC 327 bout. Blaydes stayed true to his word from Wednesday's media day when he stated he would not participate in helping Hockit gain attention or build hype. Despite Hockit's attempts at provocation, Blaydes showed no reaction and appeared completely unbothered by his opponent's behavior. The heavyweight contenders will meet this weekend at UFC 327. Blaydes's calm approach contrasted sharply with Hockit's theatrical antics throughout fight week.
