Curtis Blaydes revealed he rode in the same ambulance with Josh Hockett following their fight, making the 30-minute journey to the nearest hospital together. Both fighters were loaded onto stretchers and placed in the ambulance, with Hockett positioned behind Blaydes. Blaydes explained that the positioning of the stretchers prevented him from turning around to see Hockett directly, though he could hear him speaking. The shared ambulance ride highlights the physical toll their heavyweight battle took on both competitors. This provided an unusual post-fight interaction between the two fighters.
