Blaydes doing an excellent job with switching his stances, attacking at different angles and mixing up his strikes. To make matters worse, it’s all helping him hit those TD’s that much easier on Volkov.

Damn Blaydes is efficient!

Main event boring AF

Blaydes is trying to unnecessarily hit big-lift throws late in the fight. He’ll learn a lot from this fight. If he can sharpen his ground game, especially positionally, Blaydes can absolutely be a champ.

Volkov let’s f***ing go!!! @ufc #UFCVegas3
