Curtis Blaydes dismisses Josh Hewett's provocative behavior as time-wasting

Curtis Blaydes commented on his opponent Josh Hewett's trash-talking approach ahead of their UFC 327 matchup. Blaydes compared Hewett to Colby Covington, saying Hewett is trying to occupy that niche but noted that Covington at least backed up his talk with skill. Blaydes stated that engaging with Hewett outside of fight night is a waste of time. He suggested Hewett is simply trying to create viral video moments rather than focusing on the actual competition. Blaydes made it clear he won't participate in the pre-fight antics and will handle business when they meet in the cage on April 11.
