Formerly hyped heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou got back on track in a big way by knocking out Curtis ‘Razor’ Blaydes in the main event of last Saturday’s (Nov. 24, 2018) UFC Fight Night 141 from the Cadillac Arena in Beijing, China.
The win was a much-needed one for ‘The Predator,’ but it was a devastating one for Blaydes. His prior momentum was halted in a big way with his second loss to Ngannou. On top of that, the first-round TKO defeat has also earned him a suspension for a lacerated eyelid.
Blaydes will be out for 30 days pending a doctor’s clearance. It is relevant to note that the suspension is shorter than usual for a knockout loss. UFC Beijing was regulated by the UFC itself due to no other official athletic commission to preside over the bouts. The suspensions for UFC Beijing were procured by MMA Junkie.
