Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hockit completed their faceoff ahead of UFC 327, with Blaydes appearing completely unbothered by Hockit's behavior. Blaydes had stated earlier during Wednesday's media day that he would not participate in promotional theatrics or help Hockit build his profile. He stayed true to his word during the ceremonial staredown. The bout between the two heavyweights is scheduled for the April 11 card in Miami. Blaydes maintained a calm demeanor throughout the proceedings despite Hockit's attempts at confrontation.
