Curtis Blaydes says Josh Hewitt is copying Colby Covington's persona

Curtis Blaydes has commented on Josh Hewitt's provocative behavior ahead of their fight. Blaydes stated that Hewitt is trying to emulate Colby Covington's confrontational style, but unlike Covington, Hewitt lacks the in-cage skills to back it up. Blaydes said he will not engage with Hewitt's antics, calling interactions with him outside of fight night a waste of time. He believes Hewitt is simply trying to create viral video moments. Blaydes made it clear he has no interest in participating in the trash-talk game his opponent is playing.
