Kinda close round up until the end. I wonder who's fresher. Curtis did gas last time pretty early on.

Oh boy, the referee better be on his A-game for round 2, otherwise Oleksiy is going to die.

10-8 Blaydes

That clinch battle was awesome. Reminds me of a hockey fight when two guys are pulling jerseys over their opponents head.  I wonder how Oliynyk can survive that.

That was a graze, technically illegal but the spirit of the law vs the rule of law.

If Oliynyk was too wobbly to fight, and it clearly wasn't because of the kick, Blaydes should be the winner by TKO.

At least they got the call right, TKO was the right call.

Man Blaydes is a lucky sum'*****. I tried to punt his head and he needs to thank his lucky stars he missed.

Big win for Blaydes, but it is a shame it had to be that way.  The New York State Athletic Commission is a joke.

I'm still trying to figure this one out. The kicked grazed, a point should be deducted if anything... why did Oliynyk leave? was him pledging for a NC for that non-kick or he just gave up? did he realize that he would lose the fight? 

what a bizarre ending. TKO by missed illegal kick.
