Perennial heavyweight contender, Curtis Blaydes has snapped the impressive roughshod run of 15 straight victories of surging heavyweight force, Jailton Almeida in a stunning come-from-behind win in the featured preliminary bout of UFC 299 tonight — with a series of knelt hammer fists early in the second round.

Blaydes, who had been sidelined since last summer’s knockout loss to Russian contender, Sergei Pavlovich, seemed on the way to a dominant loss of his own against Brazilian challenger, Almeida tonight at UFC 299 — failing to mount any real significant offense in the first round of their featured preliminary bout.

However, surviving a wrestling and grappling onslaught from the Bahia native, Curtis Blaydes sprawled early in the second round following another relentless shot from the Brazilian, unloading a slew of hammer fists on the side of Almeida’s head for a stunning TKO win — eventually slumping the former onto his knees and back for a stunning knockout win.

Jailton Almeida Continues to climb the UFC heavyweight rankings

Since appearing on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2021, Jailton Almeida has established himself as a potential UFC title challenger, winning six straight fights against the likes of Shamil Abdurakhimov, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and the aforementioned Derrick Lewis.

Originally, Almeida was expected to square off with Curtis Blaydes in November, but an injury forced ‘Razor’ out of the matchup. The bout has since been rescheduled for UFC 299 on March 9.

Currently sitting as the No. 7 ranked heavyweight, a win over Blaydes would likely push him into the division’s top five and put him within reach of his first shot at UFC gold.

Heavyweight grappling sensation Jailton Almeida will return to the Octagon on March 9 for a rescheduled showdown with Curtis ‘Razor’ Blaydes.

Emanating from The Magic City of Miami, Florida, UFC 299 will feature the first title defense of newly crowned bantamweight world champion Sean O’Malley. After scoring a stunning second-round knockout against Aljamain Sterling in August, ‘Sugar’ will put his title on the line against the only fighter to beat him inside the Octagon thus far, Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera.

In the only heavyweight bout currently announced for the card, Almeida will look to continue his meteoric rise up the divisional ladder against the man he was originally scheduled to fight at UFC Sao Paulo last month.

Jailton Almeida (6-0 UFC, 20-2 MMA) has been working his way up the division since making his promotional debut in May 2022 with a first-round submission over Parker Porter. ‘Malhadinho’ followed that up with an impressive showing against Anton Turkalj and Shamil Abdurakhimov.

Since then, Almeida has seen a significant step up in competition against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Derrick Lewis. After walking through ‘Bigi Boi’ with a first-round submission, he put a beating on ‘The Black Beast’ for five rounds when the promotion returned to his home country.

UFC heavyweight, Jailton Almeida gives his thoughts on the UFC’s heavyweight landscape — including current champion, and sought-after eventual foe, Jon Jones.

Almeida has emerged as a potential future heavyweight champion, going 6-0 inside the UFC since his debut in May of 2022. Most recently he defeated former title challenger, Derrick Lewis over five rounds and now finds himself ranked No.7.

Almeida’s grappling skills and athletic ability has seen him rack-up 19 stoppage victories ( 12 submissions, 7 knockouts) in his 20 wins.

Jailton Almeida talks potential Tom Aspinall clash, Jon Jones’ reign

Talking to MMA Junkie through an interpreter in an interview facilitated by Stake.com, Almeida discussed the now intriguing heavyweight picture. Almeida says that he would like to take on newly crowned interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall, or former interim title holder Ciryl Gane.

Aspinall would defeat Sergei Pavlovich in just over a minute in the co-main event of UFC 295 last month.

“Against Ciryl Gane would be ideal, but Tom Aspinall already spoke to the media or whoever and is already talking about a fight with Jailton,” Almeida said. “So, I think probably the Tom Aspinall fight will come first.”(H/T MMA Junkie)

“It will be a very good fight because Tom Aspinall is a complete fighter,” Almeida said. “He has really good movement. I see myself as an equal in the sense that it would be a good, fair fight. It would be for the future of the category. It’s going to be the future fight for the title.”

While Aspinall’s body of work is certainly impressive, Almeida still believes that reigning undisputed champion, Jon Jones, is still the best in the world.

Jon Jones is still the best in the division,” Almeida said. “I believe Tom Aspinall could eventually get there, but for me, there is no doubt that Jon Jones is still No. 1.”
