The battle of UFC heavyweights is coming up this weekend - #2 contender Curtis Blaydes vs #4 Derrick Lewis. With a record of 14-2, Blaydes lost to only 1 man twice and that is to the fearful Francis Ngannou. On the other side, Lewis has a fight record of 24-7 and one of his noted wins is against Francis Ngannou. Isn't that an interesting match up? As of the moment Blaydes is the favorite in the betting odds with -210 and Lewis is pegged at +180.

It is so bad that the fight would be cancelled 3 days before the schedule. Curtis Blayde turned positive to covid and that has no option or consideration. In the place of the main event light heavyweights Anthony Smith and Devin Clark stepped up. The fight took only 1 round with a tap by Clark when he was caught in a clinch by Smith. It was a choke by the legs. Not so good a fight but it's still worth it.
