Blaydes remains stoic as Hokit attempts engagement at UFC 327 staredown

Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hokit faced off before their UFC 327 bout, with Blaydes maintaining a disinterested demeanor throughout. Blaydes had previously stated at Wednesday's media day that he would not participate in promotional antics or help Hokit build his profile. He kept his word by showing indifference to Hokit's behavior during the staredown. The post noted Blaydes' complete lack of reaction to whatever tactics Hokit employed during their face-off.
