Curtis Blaydes will be in PFL before this year is over.

Knew he was done as soon as he was just spouting about not standing with Derrick atall. month or so ago was saying how he wouldnt fight Jon Jones if the UFC asked him because its too dangerous.

Dudes mentality is trash for a heavyweight.

I knew watching the volkov fight he had to change that strategy of lay and pray :francis:
Lewis only need one moment and you looking to go the full 5?

You think it’s that bad? His only loses are to ngannou and Lewis. He only 30. He’ll be alright.

Naw he just got caught. He looked very solid until Lewis caught him. Wrestling at HW is trash. Dudes are so big and tall that there shots are extremely predictable. As much shyt as people give Jones if he was shooting doubles he wouldn’t be nearly as good as he is(or was)

I’m guessing the guy who tapped is getting his right leg cranked on?

if u watch closely, the guy who gets up is squeezing the guys leg around his head, putting pressure on the knee

It's a toe hold. The toe hold targets the foot(particularly the metatarsal bones) and the ankle. A lot of BJJ guys would be unfamiliar with this variation of it, as it's moreso known in catch wrestling, and could be caught of guard.

He didn’t just get caught, he got timed. Midway through the first round Blaydes finally decided to start kicking Lewis’s lead leg, even got a body kick in and a couple jabs. He abandoned that though even though it was paying dividends and hurting Lewis. Blaydes mentally did not allow him to get comfortable in a striking battle with Lewis even though he had 2 potent weapons he could use.

Jon Jones wouldn’t even let Lewis get close if they fought, he would take those leg kicks ALL DAY. Sombody with Blaydes wrestling should be trying to imitate Jones but the man is too timid.

and I’m not saying he’s goin to PFL cause he’s trash, I’m saying it cause he doesn’t have a lot of fights left on his contract and Dana doesn’t like him :heh:
