Curtis Blaydes dismisses Josh Hockitt's callout behavior as Colby Covington imitation

Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Hockitt's provocative behavior, comparing it to Colby Covington's trash-talking persona. Blaydes acknowledged that Covington was actually good at backing up his talk, but expressed that he has no interest in engaging with fighters who adopt that approach. He suggested that Hockitt is simply trying to create viral video moments for social media. Blaydes stated that interacting with Hockitt outside of fight week would be a waste of time. The comments suggest Blaydes prefers a more traditional approach to promoting fights rather than engaging in manufactured drama.
