Curtis Blaydes revealed he shared an ambulance with Josh Hokit following their bout. Both fighters were transported on stretchers to the nearest hospital, a 30-minute drive from the arena. Blaydes explained that Hokit was positioned behind him on the stretcher, making it impossible to turn around due to the backrest, though he could hear Hokit speaking to him during the ride. The anecdote highlights the physical toll of their encounter and the unusual circumstance of both fighters requiring immediate medical transport together.
