The fight
Daukaus took the initiative at the beginning of the fight, with a cross and a low kick. Blaydes, in turn, measured the distance and worked with left jabs. Finally, when he found it, he applied a left cross that rocked Chris. The fight remained balanced in the final stretch and Daukaus already had a bleeding eyebrow.
In the second round, the outcome came quickly. After switching for a few seconds, Curtis blaydes launched a direct attack and achieved a brutal knockout, with Chris Daukas already falling out of his mind.
"I want to Ciryl Gane. I want a title shot. I'm next. I want the belt. We can do this in June, July, August. And let’s go!” said Blaydes, in an interview in the Octagon.
