In the last fight on the card, Blaydes landed a direct encounter against Daukaus, who already fell bewildered. The North American, in a post-fight interview, still in the Octagon, asked for a chance at the interim heavyweight belt (up to 120,2kg) against Cyryl Gane.

Furthermore, he scored his second consecutive victory and should move up in the division rankings, where he occupies fourth place.

In addition to Curtis, three other athletes received bonuses for their performances on the card.
