Curtis Blaydes addressed the confrontational antics of Josh Hoak, comparing his approach to that of Colby Covington. Blaydes acknowledged that while Covington was actually successful with this persona, he personally wants no part in such tactics. He believes Hoak is simply trying to create viral moments for social media content. Blaydes stated that engaging with Hoak outside of fight week would be a waste of time. The heavyweight contender made it clear he won't participate in this type of promotional strategy.
