Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Parisian's provocative behavior, comparing it to Colby Covington's approach. Blaydes acknowledged that while Covington was actually skilled, he's not interested in engaging with Parisian's attempts at generating viral moments. "He just wants to collect moments for videos that will go viral," Blaydes said. The heavyweight contender made it clear he considers interacting with Parisian outside of fight night to be a waste of time. Blaydes emphasized that this type of promotional tactic is "not for me" and he won't participate in it.
