Curtis Blaydes

Francis Ngannou got back on track with a ferocious performance during UFC's first visit to Beijing, knocking out Curtis Blaydes just 25 seconds into the main event of a UFC Fight Night at Cadillac Arena. Blaydes tried to establish his wrestling game right from the start, but his attempt at a takedown was unsuccessful. Before he could try another, he was tagged by an overhand right, which dropped him to the canvas. Blaydes reached for a leg to try to save himself with some clear-the-cobwebs grappling, but he quickly wilted under an onslaught of fists.
