Curtis Blaydes: Josh Hokit 'f*cking brought it' in thrilling UFC 327 win

Curtis Blaydes' first public words about his UFC 327 brawl with Josh Hokit definitely tell the story. "Yeah, that was a fight," Blaydes said during a Twitch live stream Monday night. "That was a motherf*cking fight.

And I won't lie: Hokit brought it. He had all the antics all week, but he f*cking brought it. " Hokit and Blaydes delivered an all-time heavyweight thriller and Fight of the Year front runner this past Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami, with Hokit eking out a unanimous decision win after 15 grueling minutes of what looked like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

In the aftermath of the fight, Blaydes said he's felt "the most support (he's) ever received, especially after a loss. " Thinking back to it, Blaydes wishes he had done one thing differently during the battle. "I do feel like I should have used my wrestling a bit more, but I don't know," Blaydes said.

"I didn't see the opportunities, and I saw a lot of opportunities to punch him, so I just kept punching him. " The amount of violence and damage absorbed between both men meant immediate post-fight hospital visits for Hokit and Blaydes, who revealed a private moment as they were being rolled in at the same time. "As we're being brought in on the gurney things, he's behind me.
