What's wrong with Curtis Blaydes?

He really sounds like he has CTE, he can't say retirement properly.



He has a speech impediment going back since he was a kid. Has talked about it in the past.

He's not slurring his words. Sounds like he's fighting not to stutter.


I could be wrong but it sounds like he’s “cluttering.” It’s similar but different than stuttering. He could also be stuttering. I have a classmate who stutters and has similar dysfluencies in her speech as Curtis.
 
Had no idea he had a speech impediment. You learn something new every day. I've only heard him speak a few times but I never really noticed it before.
