Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hockett shared ambulance ride after their fight

Curtis Blaydes revealed he and Josh Hockett were transported together in the same ambulance following their bout. The ride to the nearest hospital took approximately 30 minutes. Both fighters were loaded into the ambulance on stretchers, with Hockett positioned behind Blaydes. Due to the positioning of the stretcher backrests, Blaydes couldn't turn around to see Hockett, but he could hear him speaking. The anecdote provides a rare glimpse into the immediate post-fight medical procedures for fighters requiring hospital evaluation.
