Curtis Blaydes responded to Josh Hawkit's provocative behavior ahead of their UFC 327 bout on April 11. Blaydes compared Hawkit to Colby Covington, acknowledging that Covington at least backed up his talk with performance. He stated he won't engage with Hawkit's antics, calling any interaction a waste of time. Blaydes believes Hawkit is simply trying to create viral video moments. He emphasized that the only time worth engaging is when they meet in the octagon this weekend.
