Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Hокита's confrontational approach, comparing it to Colby Covington's promotional style. Blaydes acknowledged that while Covington was actually successful in that lane, he sees Hокита's behavior as an attempt to create viral video moments. The heavyweight contender stated he won't engage with Hокита's antics outside of fight week, viewing it as a waste of time. Blaydes made clear that while he respects fighters who choose that promotional niche, it's not for him personally. He indicated he'll only interact with Hокита when necessary during fight week itself. The comments suggest Blaydes is uninterested in being drawn into pre-fight drama or social media exchanges.
