Earlier tonight (Sat. June 20th, 2020) UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov took place from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The facility hosted the main event bout between #3 ranked heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes and number #7 ranked heavyweight Alexander Volkov. The matchup went the distance with Blaydes coming out on top due to his superior grappling abilities. Volkov had little to offer in the early rounds with Blaydes being able to take him down at will and hold him down for the duration of the rounds. Towards the end of the bout when fatigue started to take effect, Volkov found some opportunities to land some damage and attempt submissions, however, these were unable to swing the fight in his favor. Outside of the main event, there were plenty of moments warranting bonuses on the card.

Fight of The Night was the co-main event bout of the evening between ranked featherweights Josh Emmett and Shane Burgos. This striking war began with Emmett injuring his leg early in the first round. Fighting through adversity Emmett was still able to land power shots on Burgos throughout the round. Burgos attacked the compromised leg as well as wearing Emmett down with body shots and jabs. The second round was very similar to the first with the two engaging in nonstop striking exchanges. The third round saw Emmett prove why he deserved to walk away victorious dropping Burgos numerous times in the round, however, Burgos showed his durability by recovering and getting to his feet each time to finish the bout standing. Ultimately Emmett won a razor-close decision.

The first Performance of The Night went to Justin Jaynes in his debut against Frank Camacho. Jaynes got the job done early hitting Camacho with a left hook taking him off his feet, once he got back up Jaynes continued to hit him with a flurry of punches until the ref had seen enough.

The final Performance of The Night was given to Jim Miller for his submission victory over Roosevelt Roberts. Miller found a finish in the first round by method of armbar securing him his bonus.

IT’S TIME! The UFC on ESPN 11 main event between Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov is about to go down. A battle at the top of the heavyweight division. The winner moves into title contention. The loser goes back to the bottom of the pile.

Round 1: Curtis Blaydes comes out and immediately scores a takedown. Alexander Volkov to his credit quickly works his way back to his feet.

Round 2: Blaydes opens up with big strikes at the start of round two. Volkov gets off a couple but he’s eating big strikes. A huge overhand right from Blaydes who follows up with the takedown less than a minute into the round. Volkov quickly pops back up but he’s unable to get away from his opponent who drags him back down and away from the cage. Blaydes is happy to sit in the guard of Volkov and throw the odd bit of ground and pound. Blaydes takes a little break and then begins firing off huge elbows. They are back to the feet with 20 seconds left in the round. Volkov lands a body kick but is quickly taken down once again by Blaydes as the buzzer sounds to end the round.

Round 3: Both men start the round by exchanging strikes. Blaydes despite his domination in the wrestling department is certainly not afraid to let his hands go.

Another attempt is shucked off by Volkov but Blaydes is relentless and eventually gets his takedown.

Blaydes shoots in again and Volkov shakes it off. He’s unable to get anything off on Blaydes who gets another takedown – his 12th of the fight which is a new heavyweight record. Nothing is happening on the floor and referee Herb Dean is warning Blaydes to work or lose his position. Blaydes fires offs two shots to keep the position but he’s not doing much right now. Volkov is the busier, hitting elbows from the bottom. Dean eventually stands them up with 40 seconds left in the round. Blaydes lands a right, Volkov just misses with a big knee. Blaydes is looking tired and Volkov scores a takedown of his own at the end of round four. The Russian is landing nice ground and pound as the horn sounds to end round four.

Blaydes tries for a takedown but is unable to get it. Volkov gets back to the centre but not for long as Blaydes shoots in again and pushes his opponent against the fence. The fight goes to the mat and Volkov is landing shots but not nearly enough to convince the referee to step in – despite the Russians looks of appeal. Blaydes is in top position as the clock ticks down to end this fight.
