UFC heavyweights Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov will collide on June 20 after all.
The pair were initially scheduled to headline the UFC’s return to Saskatoon on that date. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic led to the card — among others — to get canceled.
But with the UFC resuming its schedule last month, it looks like Blaydes and Volkov will throw down on that date — just in a different and undisclosed location.
The promotion announced the headliner on social media.

Blaydes is on a three-fight winning streak with his latest win being a TKO victory over Junior dos Santos in January. Volkov, meanwhile, returned to the win column by outpointing Greg Hardy at UFC Moscow in November. Overall, he is 5-1 since signing with the UFC in 2016.
Here is how the card looks as of now:

Stipe Miocic has heard the critics and he has no interest in entertaining them. Miocic hasn’t competed since Aug. 2019 and fight fans are starting to become restless. While some don’t blame Miocic as we’re in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and he’s a first responder, others are simply impatient. That includes heavyweights Daniel […]

Curtis Blaydes has gone after female MMA fighters who he says are more interested in being sexy than developing their skill set. Blaydes referenced Paige VanZant and Rachael Ostovich as examples when he discussed the topic with fans online. “So you telling me Paige Vanzant and Rachel Osto-whatever actually deserve time remain on the UFC’s […]
Blaydes referenced Paige VanZant and Rachael Ostovich as examples when he discussed the topic with fans online.
“So you telling me Paige Vanzant and Rachel Osto-whatever actually deserve time remain on the UFC’s roster for their ‘athletic achievements’ and their not just on cards for their sex appeal? Cause if I’m wrong about that then I guess the whole premise of my original statement is wrong and I apologize but if you’re a legit fan of MMA you couldn’t possibly believe the two females I mentioned are on the roster for anything other than the fact the look good in bikinis.”
A fan asked Blaydes his opinion on Pearl Gonzalez and he didn’t hold back. The 29-year-old said she is “not a very good fighter” who gets by on her looks.
“Yeah I know of Pearl she’s another one who’s not a very good fighter but stays relevant cause she’s constantly posting bikini training pics, her skills are exactly what they were 5 years ago a brawler with terrible footwork and decent grappling. Too many females in the athletic industry are getting by on being sexy not actually being good at their craft.”
Gonzalez wasn’t happy with the comments from Blaydes and fired back seemingly taking shots at his speech impediment, she said.
“A fighter complaining how my looks keep me relevant and that my skills haven’t improved. The fact you are today years old and still can’t speak a full sentence blows my mind.”
Speaking on Facebook Blaydes addressed his comments and stood by them, he wrote.
“I’m a girl dad so lemme make this clear I’m not against female athletes getting publicity and media push and love from fans when it’s deserved and earned thru legitimate hard work and grinding.
“My issue is why do so many female athletes complain and gripe about being overly sexualized by fans/media but then at the same time many of them are profiting off said sexualization thru media endorsements, high profile placement on fight cards, and overall popularity which leads to many other financial opportunities?
“I don’t hate hustling either like if that’s how a female wants to pay her bills thru her body which is what many strippers do and i have no problem with either hustle but you can’t live life that way and expect to garner the same type of respect and love that real grinders get,” he added.
“You can’t have your cake and your ice cream pick one, either you’re gonna hustle and make money off your athletic achievements and skill set or you’re gonna hustle and sell bikini pics and forfeit that respect hard work and sweat brings….this is an open table discussion just wanna hear y’all’s honest opinions.”
Is Curtis Blaydes right? Do some female MMA fighters get by on their looks?

UFC stars Curtis Blaydes and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson decided to take part in a “Celebrity Sumo Round Robin” this week.
The action went down at a SubStars grappling event yesterday (Fri. February 21, 2020) in Miami, Florida. Blaydes and Johnson took on sumo stars Ryuichi Yamamoto and Takeshi Amitani, respectively. Then, the pair squared off against each other. Blaydes first took on 210-pound sumo champion Amitani. Despite Blaydes having the size advantage, Amitani quickly dragged the UFC heavyweight to the ground, finishing the match with a hip toss.
Then, Johnson faced who many believe is the largest Japanese-born sumo wrestler in the world in Yamamoto, who weighs 600 pounds. Yamamoto lifted up Johnson with ease and eventually threw him out of the circle.
Lastly, Johnson and Blaydes squared off against each other. In the first round, Johnson quickly dragged Blaydes down, but then “Razor” was able to stay on his feet by using his hand on the mat.
The second round saw Blaydes use Johnson’s forward momentum against him to drag him out of the ring and tie up the score at one to one. In the third and final round, Blaydes used an inside trip to get “Rumble” down and win the match.
In regards to mixed martial arts (MMA), Blaydes is on a three-fight win streak inside the Octagon and is making a case for a shot at the heavyweight title. Johnson, on the other hand, who has been retired since 2017, is anticipating a return later this year. However, this time, the former light heavyweight title challenger will be doing his work at heavyweight.
What do you think about Blaydes topping Johnson in sumo wrestling competition?
