Many predicted Curtis Blaydes could have TKO’d Junior dos Santos with ground and pound, but not standing up. In a surprising finish to UFC Raleigh’s main event, ‘Razor’ caught the former UFC heavyweight champion with a perfect right hand and then followed it up with a flurry of strikes to warrant a stoppage from the referee in the second round. On Twitter, pro fighters praised his performance.
Fun fact:@RazorBlaydes265 and I both lead the HWT and LHW division in takedowns and I believe TD accuracy also, both from Illinois, and both were Illinois Juco wrestlers.
