Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes offered his perspective on Josh Hockett's provocative behavior ahead of their upcoming fight. Blaydes suggested that Hockett is attempting to emulate Colby Covington's persona but gave Covington credit for actually backing up his talk with performance. Blaydes indicated he has no interest in engaging with this approach, stating it's not his style. He believes Hockett is simply looking to create viral video moments and considers interacting with him outside of fight week a waste of time. The two are scheduled to compete this weekend.
