Curtis Blaydes says Josh Hewitt trying to be like Colby Covington

Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Hewitt's provocative behavior ahead of their matchup. Blaydes stated that Hewitt is trying to emulate Colby Covington's controversial persona, though he gave credit to Covington for actually being good at it. Blaydes said if that's Hewitt's niche, that's fine, but it's not for him and he won't participate in that approach. He believes Hewitt is just trying to create viral video moments and that interacting with him outside of fight week is a waste of time. Blaydes made it clear he has no interest in engaging with Hewitt's promotional tactics.
