Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes addressed the provocative behavior of Josh Hewett, comparing it to Colby Covington's approach to promoting fights. Blaydes acknowledged that Covington was actually good at this style, but suggested Hewett is merely trying to create viral video moments. He stated he won't engage with Hewett's antics and considers interacting with him outside of fight week a waste of time. Blaydes indicated he's not interested in participating in trash talk gimmicks. The comments suggest Blaydes prefers to let his fighting do the talking rather than engage in promotional theatrics.
