UFC Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes snagged a unanimous decision victory over Alexander Volkov at UFC on ESPN 11. The fight was the headliner for the 3 event taking place at the Apex Facility in Las Vegas.
Although Blaydes triumphed, his most recent victory has drawn criticism from fans and MMA pundits alike.
The main event turned out to be a wrestling clinic that saw Blaydes fatigue towards the end of the 3 round. ‘Razor Blaydes’ secured the record for most takedowns landed in a heavyweight fight.

Curtis Blaydes has now defeated all top contenders in the division except Francis Ngannou. There is no suitable match-up for ‘Razor’ Blaydes.
However, a title shot seems distant. The heavyweight championship will be on the line in August, considering Ngannou is next in line, Blaydes may be out of action for a while.
Dana White was not too pleased with the performance put on by Blaydes. Considering he had spoken a loud game going into the fight, Dana White expected a finish on the horizon.
