Impact When we last saw Blaydes in April, he was dropping a unanimous decision to Josh Hokit in what was a Fight of the Year candidate. Here, in his return to the octagon, he got the win in what was one of the most boring bouts in recent memory. The two men combined to land 52 significant strikes over the course of 15 minutes. You'd be hard-pressed to remember even a single notable one. The good news for Curtis, and what was the difference in the fight, was his four successful takedowns on ten attempts. Set to turn 36 years old next February, Blaydes needs to find victories wherever he can. He's alternated wins and losses in his past seven bouts.
