Curtis Blaydes has commented on the provocative behavior of opponent Josh Parisian, comparing it to Colby Covington's controversial persona. Blaydes acknowledged that while Covington was actually good at the trash-talk approach, he believes Parisian is merely trying to create viral video moments. The heavyweight contender stated he won't engage with Parisian's antics outside of fight week, calling any interaction a waste of time. Blaydes made it clear this promotional style isn't for him and suggested Parisian is simply trying to occupy that controversial niche in MMA. The comments indicate Blaydes plans to let his performance do the talking when they meet this weekend.
