UFC heavyweights: Curtis Blaydes vs Derrick Lewis

‘Razor’ Blaydes is currently on a four-fight win streak and is coming off a unanimous decision win over Alexander Volkov. Blaydes has racked up some of the most dominant heavyweight displays on the back of his offensive wrestling. Not to mention, Curtis Blaydes has showcased an improved striking ability and is favored to pick up the win.

Derrick Lewis is on a run of his own, racking up a three-fight win streak. He is 3-2 in his last outings, and his recent wins have consolidated his position at the top. Chiefly, the former title challenger, has Semtex attached to his fists and can turn off the lights with one blow. Blaydes will have to be exceptionally careful when making an entry on Lewis.

The heavyweight division is largely logjammed at the top, and there’s a distinct wait to get a title shot for the winner. However, both men will be motivated to keep their spot and grab a hold of their win bonus as well.
