UFC Columbus: Blaydes vs. Daukaus preview - Power wrestling vs. power punching

Though it has traditionally been accepted that the main event of a UFC fight card tends to have the most weight in the title picture of whatever division the contest is taking place, that appears to be less true as time passes. Much of that has to do with the UFC’s desire to push certain divisions more than others. The division they seem most desirous to promote is the heavyweight division. Thus, with Curtis Blaydes and Chris Daukaus sitting in the main event slot of UFC Columbus, it isn’t the most consequential fight in terms of a title picture.
