UFC Fight Night (Heavyweight): Blaydes v. Daukaus

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Curtis Blaydes (USA)

Chris Daukaus (USA)

 

Current odds:

Curtis Blaydes: (-550)

Chris Daukaus: (+400)

 

Chris Daukaus really blitzed his way into the elite ranks of the heavyweight division with an absolute minimum of resistance. And unfortunately, it may just be that he swam out a little too far from shore in the process. Not to over extend a metaphor, but heavyweight stays shallow for an awfully long time right up until the deep water.

It’s a lesson Curtis Blaydes has had to learn a couple times before, now, getting pushed back in grasping distance of a title shot. And at the same time it’s very much a category Blaydes represents. He’s one of heavyweight’s very, very few truly technical wrestlers. And he’s got the size and strength to make fights nearly impossible once he gets on top.
