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

Curtis Blaydes addressed the trash talk and provocative behavior of his opponent Josh Hewitt ahead of their fight. Blaydes compared Hewitt's approach to that of Colby Covington, but noted that at least Covington backed it up with skills. He suggested Hewitt is trying to fill a niche with his persona. Blaydes stated he has no interest in engaging with such antics and sees it as a waste of time. He believes Hewitt is simply trying to create viral video moments rather than focusing on the fight itself. The two are scheduled to meet at UFC 327 on April 11.
