Curtis Blaydes overpowered Alexander Volkov in the main event of UFC on ESPN. The bout led many to label it as boring due to ‘Razor’s sheer mat prowess. Among those who panned the clash was UFC President Dana White. It didn’t help that the main event had to be the follow-up act to an intense back and forth Featherweight clash. However, one person who isn’t bothered about the opinions and whispers is the victor himself.

Here he responded to claims that he delivered a snoozefest to the audience. The 3rd ranked Heavyweight said, “Yea I think I know what I am now. I’m a heel. You don’t like what I do, I like to make you mad.”

What’s important for ‘Razor’ is that he won and maintained his spot in the divisional rankings. Here he says he predicted the win but admitted that it wasn’t his best. “I like to win… the best part of this win is that I predicted this and I did it, 25 minutes. Didn’t look the best but I don’t care.”

In living up to his self-proclaimed villain role, the fighter replied in typical heel fashion, “And I know a lot of fans didn’t like it. I’m okay with that, it makes me happy.”

As Blaydes wants a UFC title shot, he will have to focus on longer fights or strengthening his mat game even further. Going the full 25 will surely lead ‘Razor’ to understand that he needs to focus on his conditioning for a longer fight. 

Grappling and winning is what makes Blaydes happy. His mindset is akin to an elite athlete who focuses on what helps his game and plays by his strengths rather than pandering to the fans.
