The only blemish on Curtis Blayde’s career is a doctor’s stoppage loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC Fight Night 86, as the 27-year-old was deemed medically unfit to continue after sustaining damage to his eye in the second round.
Since then, Blaydes has gone on to win five fights (1 NC) and cement himself as a top three heavyweight contender, with standout wins over UFC veterans Mark Hunt and Alistair Overeem.
It’s been over two years since his loss to Ngannou but, speaking to Damon Martin of MMA Weekly in a recent interview, ‘Razor’ admitted that he has never been able to fully move on.
