It didn’t take a Din Thomas, Firas Zahabi or Greg Jackson type of mind to know what the game plans of Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis were going to be when the two faced off in the main event of UFC Vegas 19. Blaydes, who entered the fight with the most takedowns in UFC heavyweight history with 59, was going to attempt to implement his wrestling skills. Lewis, who had a UFC heavyweight record of 11 knockouts ahead of facing Blaydes, was going to look to end the fight with his power. Appropriately, the fight closed with Lewis landing a wrecking ball of an uppercut as Blaydes leaned in for a takedown.
