UFC returned to the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday night for a Fight Night card headlined by a heavyweight battle between Curtis Blaydes and Chris Daukaus.
Blaydes and Daukaus have been hovering in the mid tier of the heavyweight division for some time. Both men lost to Derrick Lewis last year, but Blaydes got back on track with a victory over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in September.
Lewis knocked out Daukaus in the first round of their matchup on Dec. 18.
Blaydes' power overwhelmed Daukaus in the second round when he scored a TKO win with a flurry of punches shortly after the bell rang to start the round.
