Blaydes remains stoic during faceoff with Hocket at UFC 327 ceremonials

Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hocket completed their faceoff before their UFC 327 bout, with Blaydes maintaining his characteristically indifferent demeanor. Blaydes showed no reaction to Hocket's behavior, staying true to his media day comments from Wednesday where he stated he would not participate in promotional antics or help Hocket gain attention. The heavyweight contender made clear he has no interest in engaging with his opponent's attempts at gamesmanship. Fans are asked to predict the outcome of this heavyweight clash. The contrast in approaches heading into fight night could not be more stark between the veteran Blaydes and the theatrical Hocket.
