Curtis Blaydes: UFC Heavyweight Coverage
Curtis Blaydes is one of the toughest names in the UFC heavyweight division. Fans know him for relentless takedowns, heavy top control, and steady pressure. This page pulls together news, fight previews, results, and quick analysis so you don’t miss anything important.
Want to know how Blaydes matches up with a rival? Or whether his wrestling will beat a bigger striker? We break those matchups down in plain terms. Expect short previews, smart angles to watch during the fight, and clear takeaways after the final bell.
Fight style and strengths
Blaydes builds fights around wrestling. He gets opponents to the mat quickly and keeps them there with strong control. That top game often turns into heavy ground-and-pound or long decision wins. He also has power on his feet and can finish when an opponent leaves an opening.
Cardio and pace matter in his fights. When Blaydes keeps the tempo high, he usually wins rounds. If an opponent can keep the fight standing and avoid takedowns, the scoring can swing the other way. Watch his set-ups: he mixes level changes, feints, and clinch entries to create takedown chances.
What to watch before and during a fight
Check three things before a fight: takedown success, takedown defence, and late-round energy. If Blaydes is scoring takedowns early, the fight usually follows his plan. If an opponent stuffs takedowns and counters with strikes, the fight becomes more even. Late-round pressure from Blaydes often decides close fights.
Also watch for small changes between camps. Fighters tweak their gameplans all the time. Has he added more striking? Is he working on single-leg entries rather than double legs? Those details tell you whether Blaydes is evolving or sticking to the same recipe.
