Quick read
Curtis Blaydes addressed the provocative behavior of his upcoming opponent Josh Hewitt, drawing comparisons to Colby Covington's approach. Blaydes acknowledged that Hewitt is trying to adopt a similar trash-talking persona but gave credit to Covington for actually backing it up with performance. The heavyweight contender stated that while he understands it's Hewitt's chosen niche, it's not something he personally engages with. Blaydes suggested that Hewitt is simply trying to create viral video moments and considers any interaction outside of fight week to be a waste of time. The comments reflect Blaydes' intention to avoid getting drawn into pre-fight dramatics.
