Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Hewett's provocative behavior leading up to their fight. Blaydes compared Hewett to Colby Covington, suggesting Hewett is trying to adopt a similar persona. However, Blaydes noted that even Covington "was actually good" to back up his talk. Blaydes stated he won't engage with Hewett's antics, calling interactions with him outside of fight night "a waste of time." He believes Hewett is simply trying to create viral video moments. Blaydes made it clear this promotional style doesn't interest him and he won't participate in it.
