Curtis Blaydes is all set to go up against Jailton Almeida at UFC 299. The top fight of the preliminary card will be a heavyweight bout that in all probability will end in a knockout if Blaydes manages to get the upper hand. ‘Razor’ has won 17 fights in his professional career and most of them were via knockouts.
However, he does have 4 losses on his record and interestingly enough, all of the losses were within the UFC itself despite him having fought under other promotions. Here’s all about the losses faced by Blaydes at the hands of Francis Ngannou and more.

Curtis Blaydes is a heavyweight mainstay and that means having big power in his strikes. When he went up against Francis Ngannou, perhaps he faced power bigger than his own. Two out of Blaydes’ four losses have come from the French-Cameroonian’s hands.
When the two first met at UFC Fight Night 86, during the second round of the bout, ‘Razor’ would get hit with a mean hook that left him with a very swollen right eye. While he still went for one takedown after another, when the round was over, the physician looked at his condition and the fight was called off. Blaydes’ eye was swollen enough for him to not be able to see out of it.

During their rematch, Blaydes saw a TKO finish in the very first round. While he wasn’t knocked out cold, ref Marc Goddard interfered in due time because ‘Razor’ looked like he was in much trouble and once he fell. Yet again, ‘The Predator’ took the win home.
At UFC Fight Night 185, Blaydes went up against Derrick Lewis. The fight had a lot of fans on the edges of their seats. In the second round of the fight, Lewis managed to time a brutal uppercut immediately dropping Blaydes to the mat. This was his third KO/TKO loss of all time.

Ref Marc Goddard has seen Curtis Blaydes lose more than once at this point. The last time he was in the Octagon was against Sergei Pavlovich. The Russian went toe-to-toe with Blaydes but managed to get the upper hand ending the fight in the very first round.

Clearly, Blaydes is a heavyweight that rarely lets the fight go to decisions. This was the second time he faced a loss in the very first round and co-incidentally, both times, the ref in the cage was Goddard. Is the ref a bad omen for ‘Razor’? Now that’s some sort of conspiracy theory in the works.

Either way, Blaydes is all set to go up against Jaliton Almeida at UFC 299 in the preliminaries of the pay-per-view. He has a chance of beating Almeida who is freshly coming off a win against Lewis, the man who knocked Curtis Blaydes out cold. Will he win this bout?
