The UFC rankings have been officially updated after last weekend’s (Sat., June 9, 2018) UFC 225 from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and rising heavyweight star Curtis Blaydes has arrived as the biggest beneficiary.
‘Razor’ rose two spots to No. 2 for his devastating third-round TKO victory over former K-1, Strikeforce, and DREAM champion Alistair Overeem in the featured fight on the UFC 225 preliminary card. For the loss, Overeem fell from No. 2 to No. 4.
There were some small moves on the pound-for-pound list as well, with UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic overtaking the No. 2 pound-for-pound spot from Georges St-Pierre, while middleweight champ Robert Whittaker rose two spots to No. 11, pushing Tony Ferguson and Amanda Nunes down one spot apiece to Nos. 12 and 13, respectively.
The final significant movement came at 125 pounds, where rising potential title challenger Sergio Pettis rose three spots to the No. 2 spot himself after his close decision win over former title challenger Joseph Benavidez on the Fight Pass preliminary card of UFC 225, while ‘Joe B’ fell three spots to No. 4 following the loss.

Do you agree with Khabib’s theory?
The post Khabib Reveals Who Could Potentially Beat Curtis Blaydes appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Rising heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes extended his winning streak to four this past Saturday (June 9, 2018) at UFC 225, scoring a brutal stoppage victory over veteran Alistair Overeem.
Following the bout, Blaydes called for a title shot, but it’s also been reported that he suffered a few injuries in the contest, making a timetable for his return a bit cloudy.
Regardless of if he receives a title shot next or not, Blaydes has continued to gain recognition. In fact, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov feels as if the 27-year-old will one day be a champion:
“I think Blaydes can become UFC champion,” Khabib told documentary producer Will Harris of Anatomy of a Fighter. “He has very good wrestling, he’s young, he’s strong, he’s hungry, he has different motivation. I think he’s the new blood in the UFC’s heavyweight division.”
Blaydes, who holds a professional record of 10-1-1, has given various fighters problems with his fighting style and Nurmagomedov believes this will carry on as Blaydes continues to earn big fights. “The Eagle”, however, also named one combatant who he feels is capable of stopping Blaydes’ run:
“I think only one guy can beat him. I think Daniel Cormier; he can beat him,” he said. “Other guys, even Stipe Miocic, I think for Stipe, he’s a bad matchup, because he pressures all the time, (he has) very good wrestling.”
“But, we’ll see. He’s the new blood,” Khabib said of Blaydes. “We have to wait (until after) July 7th (UFC 226). I think he deserves a title shot, more than everybody.”
Cormier, a teammate of Nurmagomedov’s and the current 205-pound champion, will indeed move up in weight to challenge heavyweight titleholder Stipe Miocic in the main event of July 7’s UFC 226 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Dana White has plans to determine who will be up next to face the winner of next month’s blockbuster showdown between reigning heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, and it features the two men with the longest active winning streaks in the heavyweight division: Curtis “Razor” Blaydes and Russia’s Alexander Volkov.

What’s going to be next for The Reem?
The post Alistair Overeem Breaks Silence Following Devastating KO Loss appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Alistair Overeem has now suffered two back-to-back devastating knockout losses at the hands of a pair of rising heavyweight prospects.
This past December Overeem was knocked out by Francis Ngannou in under two minutes after one of the biggest punches you’ll ever see connected on the Dutchman’s chin. After a six month layoff, Overeem returned to the Octagon in Chicago this past weekend (Sat. June 9, 2018).
He shared the Octagon with No. 4-ranked Curtis Blaydes. In the third round Blaydes was able to get the fight to the ground and unloaded some crushing elbows to Overeem’s skull that split him open and subsequently rendered him unconscious.
It was truly one of the most devastating finishes in recent UFC memory. Earlier today, the 38-year-old took to Instagram to comment on his defeat. Here’s what he had to say:
“The greatest test of courage is to bear defeat without losing heart. I would like to thank you all for supporting me through thick and thin. Huge thanks to my team and everyone involved! I will be back, I always come back. Congrats to @razorblaydes265 on his big win and he has a great future in this sport. #ufc #ufc225 #willbeback”
Overeem has had over 60 professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fights. At this point in his career, it should be interesting to see what the former UFC heavyweight title challenger decides to do next.
After declaring that he will be back, who do you think Overeem should be paired up with in the Octagon next?
