Curtis Blaydes heads in UFC Vegas 71 with incredible knockout power and enormous potential. He showed his power in this blistering finish of Chris Daukaus.
On Saturday night, Blaydes steps into the UFC Vegas 71 main event opposite Sergei Pavlovich. This showdown will help shape the future for the UFC heavyweight championship currently held by pound-for-pound kingpin Jon Jones.
Blaydes has long been knocking on the door of a title shot, but keeps getting it slammed in his face. First, Francis Ngannou put the brakes on and then it was Derrick Lewis. Currently riding a three-fight winning streak, Blaydes could put himself to the front of the pack with an impressive win over Pavlovich.
But before Blaydes vs. Pavlovich at UFC Vegas 71 on Saturday, watch as Blaydes dropped the hammer on Chris Daukaus.
