Curtis Blaydes def. Mark Hunt via unanimous decision. The biggest win for Curtis Blaydes comes as he stuck to his game plan of not standing and banging with the legend Mark Hunt. The opening round was clearly dominated by Mark Hunt as he circled around and landed nice shots keeping Curtis Blaydes at distance. Blaydes was able to land 10 takedowns despite being outgunned and outstruck in the second where it seemed like Mark Hunt was about to finish him. But a quick thinking from Blaydes turned the fight around.
OHHH @MarkHunt1974 ROCKS Blaydes, but @RazorBlaydes265 recovers and gets the takedown! What a round! #UFC221 pic.twitter.com/0tda493rPa
