Curtis Blaydes dismisses Josh Hockette's 'Colby Covington-like' behavior as content farming

Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes has commented on opponent Josh Hockette's provocative behavior ahead of their upcoming fight. Blaydes compared Hockette's approach to that of Colby Covington, though he acknowledged that Covington was actually good at the persona. Blaydes stated that Hockette wants to create viral video moments and that this is Hockette's chosen niche. The veteran heavyweight made it clear he won't engage with such antics, viewing interaction with Hockette outside of fight week as a waste of time. Blaydes appears focused on the fight itself rather than the pre-fight theatrics.
