Cortez-Acosta names preferred opponent for December fight

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 3, 2025, 1 p.m.

The Dominican UFC heavyweight Waldo Cortez-Acosta stated that he would like to have his next fight in December against American Curtis Blaydes.

“I’ll be ready to return in December. UFC, you can put me on any December card. I want to fight Curtis Blaydes and then go for the title. Let Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane have their rematch first, and then I’ll meet the winner,” MMA Fighting quotes the fighter.

Let us remind you that last weekend at UFC Fight Night 263, Cortez-Acosta won against Ante Delija ahead of schedule.
