Waldo Cortes-Acosta named his desired opponent after a premature victory over Derrick Lewis.
“I have already asked for a fight with Blaydes. Let's see if he is ready to fight me in Mexico. I don’t consider Curtis a huge challenge. In my last three fights, I faced tougher opponents. I want to fight him because he talks a lot of nonsense on social media, and I don’t like people like that,” Cortes-Acosta said at the press conference.
