Curtis Blaydes dismisses Josh Hewett's behavior as Colby Covington imitation

Curtis Blaydes addressed his opponent Josh Hewett's provocative pre-fight behavior ahead of their UFC 327 matchup. Blaydes compared Hewett to Colby Covington, saying Hewett is trying to occupy that niche but noting that Covington "was actually good." The heavyweight contender stated this approach isn't for him and he won't participate in such antics. Blaydes suggested Hewett is simply trying to create viral video moments and that engaging with him before fight night is a waste of time. The two are set to face each other on April 11th. Blaydes' comments suggest he's unimpressed by Hewett's promotional tactics.
