The predator just needed 25 secs to stop Blaydes and pick up his first win of 2018. Both the heavyweights earlier met in 2016 with the fight being stopped due to Blaydes’ unable to see from his right eye. Francis landed a big overhand which missed it mark but grazed the left side of the Blaydes’ head who went wobbly thereon. Francis continued to pour in punches as Blaydes struggled to grab his feet for a takedown. The punches were too much once again and the fight had to be stopped.
