Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Hewitt's provocative behavior ahead of their fight. Blaydes stated that Hewitt is trying to act like Colby Covington, but gave Covington credit for actually being good at it. Blaydes said that if Hewitt wants to occupy that niche, that's fine, but it's not for him and he won't participate in it. He believes Hewitt just wants to create viral video moments, so interacting with him outside of fight night is a waste of time. The heavyweight contender made it clear he's not interested in engaging with trash talk.
