Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes has responded to opponent Josh Hewitt's pre-fight antics ahead of their bout. Blaydes compared Hewitt's behavior to that of Colby Covington, noting that while Covington backed up his trash talk with performance, he questions whether Hewitt can do the same. Blaydes suggested that Hewitt is simply trying to create viral video moments and social media clips. The veteran heavyweight stated that engaging with Hewitt outside of fight night would be a waste of time. Blaydes made it clear he won't participate in the promotional theatrics and plans to handle business inside the cage. His comments reflect a veteran's dismissive approach to a newcomer's attempts at psychological warfare.
