"And the second-round TKO, WCA set his sights on Curtis Blaydes, a stud wrestler who he accused to trash talking him online. Where and when does Cortes-Acosta want that bout? "I don't care where they put me in there," stated "Salsa Boy," speaking with media outlets including Cageside Press during Saturday's UFC 324 post-fight press conference. However, the Dominican star, a former baseball player, added that "I want to fight in Mexico, and I want to rip Curtis Blaydes' head off in Mexico.""
"he almost certainly did not enjoy Hokit calling him a "deadbeat dad" to nine children. "I've seen it, or I did hear it," Cortes-Acosta said of Hokit's comments, that were delivered in a gimmicky, pro-wrestling style. "I've crossed paths with him in the PI [UFC Performance Institute], and I've gone up there, to some of the coaches, and said 'listen, you want to fight me? I'll tell you what. Watch what I did, watch what I've been doing. Get there, train. Maybe that's when we'll cross paths.'""
Waldo Cortes-Acosta defeated Derrick Lewis by second-round TKO at UFC 324. Waldo Cortes-Acosta targeted Curtis Blaydes and requested the bout in Mexico, declaring "I want to fight in Mexico, and I want to rip Curtis Blaydes' head off in Mexico." The UFC returns to Mexico City in March, which could fit that timeline. Josh Hokit won the other heavyweight fight on the card and called out Cortes-Acosta. Hokit labeled Cortes-Acosta a "deadbeat dad" to nine children, and Cortes-Acosta described crossing paths with Hokit at the UFC Performance Institute and urged Hokit to train. Cortes-Acosta suggested training partner Tyrell Fortune as an opponent for Hokit, noting Fortune's three-fight win streak and regional belts.
