UFC heavyweight prospect Curtis Blaydes explains why he’s ‘most likely’ going to wrestle Francis Ngannou at UFC Beijing this weekend.

This weekend (Sun. November 25, 2018) a massive heavyweight rematch will main event the UFC’s trip to Beijing, China.
Curtis Blaydes will face Francis Ngannou in the main event of the evening. This is quite an interesting match-up. Both men are massive contenders in the heavyweight division, with Blaydes who is on a tear at the moment with a five-fight win streak. Also, Ngannou is a former heavyweight title challenger, however, he is coming off back-to-back unanimous decision losses.
After Ngannou’s past two opponents were able to avoid his knockout power and go the distance with the Frenchman, a few holes have been exposed in “The Predator’s” game. He lacks in the wrestling department and also is suspect in regards to having the cardio to go five full rounds. Blaydes recently spoke to “The MMA Hour” to preview his fight with Ngannou.
“Razor” revealed that he’s “most likely” going to capitalize on Ngannou’s weaknesses and take the Frenchman down to the canvas (via MMA Mania):
“He didn’t have great conditioning then, he doesn’t have great conditioning now,” Blaydes said. “I know if I hold him down for two to three minutes, he’ll be gassed, he’ll be done for.
“That right there just lets me know I could have beat him back then with all the holes I have in my game and today I’m ten times better than the version of myself that debuted that day.
“I don’t have to wrestle, but most likely I will wrestle because I know that’s his weakest area of MMA.”
Ngannou and Blaydes initially fought each other back in April of 2016. Blaydes lost his UFC debut due to a second-round doctor stoppage. It remains the only blemish on “Razor’s” MMA record. He hopes to right that wrong in China this weekend.

UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier believes Curtis Blaydes is close to receiving a heavyweight title opportunity.

UFC “Champ Champ” Daniel Cormier seems to be very interested in this weekend’s (Sat. November 24, 2018) UFC Beijing main event.
Knockout artist Francis Ngannou will take on Curtis Blaydes in the show’s main event of the evening. This will be a rematch from the pair’s initial meeting back in April of 2016, which happened to be Blaydes’ UFC debut, where Ngannou won via doctor stoppage. Since losing to Ngannou, Blaydes has been on an absolute tear through the heavyweight division.
“Razor” has amassed a five-fight win streak, defeating all but two of those opponents via stoppage. Some of the names on Blaydes’ list of victims include UFC heavyweight veterans Mark Hunt and Alistair Overeem. In Blaydes’ most recent Octagon appearance, he finished Overeem in devastating fashion, taking “The Reem” out in the third round with a barrage of elbows that busted open the Dutchman terribly.
Recently, the UFC’s YouTube channel released a video in which Cormier is previewing UFC Beijing. In regards to Blaydes, “DC” had some interesting comments about the 27-year-old. Cormier said that he believes Blaydes “is on the cusp of fighting for the heavyweight title.” However, should that be the case, it’s unlikely Blaydes shares the cage with Cormier.
Cormier is expected to fight one more time before officially retiring from MMA competition. That fight is expected to be against returning former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in early 2019. Check out Cormier’s comments in the video below:
