Blaydes has a stutter. Don’t worry, it’s not damage.

Yea, I never paid too much attention to it before. That’s all.  I often skip most pre event media ****. I like Blaydes. Heavyweights shelf life can be short, like running backs in football. Lewis can end people too.

Famous last words: I’m not convinced Blaydes has chin issues at all.

Shame one of these dudes has to lose. They only lose to the best, and both are trying to work back up to it.

I think Jairzinho is too much of a counter striker, I don't think he can afford to wait and pull a Derrick Lewis. He should push the pace like he did in the first moments of the fight

I should’ve known the second I put Blaydes on my DraftKings that he would avoid the takedowns

If Curtis wins this, he should get a rematch with Lewis to prove himself

Curtis has underrated kickboxing. But yeah, it seems like the Lewis fight is still scaring him a bit. Afraid to shoot.

I'd say 20-18 , only reason Rozenstruik lost that round due to inactivity.

I dunno, I’m so caught up in the tension I’m not bored. Feels like as soon as someone “goes” it’s gonna end.

Feel like Curtis could be way more aggressive on top with the g&p

I've got to start drinking my own medicine. Should have placed that bet of Blaydes  +325 by dec I said was such great value.
