Curtis Blaydes dismisses Josh Hockett's antics, compares him to Colby Covington

Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes commented on the provocative behavior of Josh Hockett, comparing him to welterweight Colby Covington. Blaydes acknowledged that Covington at least backed up his trash talk with solid performances. He stated that if Hockett wants to occupy that niche, that's fine, but it's not Blaydes' style and he won't participate in it. Blaydes believes Hockett is simply trying to collect viral video moments. He considers any interaction with Hockett outside of fight week to be a waste of time.
