[svmr_db]

Would replace the original main event of Jan Blachowicz vs Aleksandar Rakic

yawn. will watch. but yawn.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Can Daukaus stop the takedowns

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Wow, didn’t see this coming. At all….

 

[Grandwizard666]

If blaydes wins give him gane
Winner fights for the belt

 

[Ares Black]

Tough rebound fight for Daukaus. He likely gets mauled.

 

[Linelo]

Rankings-wise it’s ok for a main event but it’s surprising that they’d have Blaydes main event again after the Volkov stinker. (Lewis at least has a following.)

Anyways, I think Daukaus doesn’t have anything to keep Blaydes from dictating where the fight goes.

Don't like this.

Rush job, doesn't make any sense for Daukaus - bad fight for him, does next to nothing for Blaydes.

Must be struggling to find a main event level fight, because this isn't a good one.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Can Daukaus stop the takedowns

I don't think he can. I got Blaydes.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Sadly Daukas quit his job as a Police officer before the Lewis fight. And we saw how that fight ended.

I think Blaydes has this though

 

[svmr_db]

Daukaus should get a step down in competition, I'm not a fan of this matchup. Would be pretty surprised if he pulls this off.

 

['Suga Daddy']

I prefer Blaydes here, but Daukaus’ BJJ black belt gives me some pause

 

[BigTruck]

Man it's going to be embarrassing for chris If he gets smashed again. Quitting his job as a cop outright to fight full time then precedes to get smashed in minutes. Then if it happens 2x in a row??? Yikes.

Civilian Daukaus can't cut it

 

[rocketrasslin18]

Such a bummer of a fight. Blaydes in 5

Might be an oversimplification, but you've got to be REALLY good at BJJ at heavyweight for it to make a difference when you've got one of those lumps on top of you.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Blaydes is in the gatekeeper spot

 

[HindustaniKush]

Daukakus is getting finished


If Blaydes wins he should hold off for title shot. He would be on a 2 fight win streak and be 6 and 1 in past 7 fights.

Or rematch Lewis

 

[Dorkman]

Really don't think Daukaus should be in a main event so soon again. Especially not against someone of Blaydes quality. I'd wager Blaydes is going to wrestle him out pretty convincingly. Whether it's a gnp finish, or decision.
