Blaydes is the most unlucky fighter ever. If he wasn't so unlucky, he would have been already champ.

[justmark]

Also, ufc really fucked him over a few times when he deserved a title shot but they decided to skip him. I still think he will become champ sooner or later, but I'm not as confident as I used to be.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Finished by strikes five times in the UFC. You're right, though. It's all due to bad luck that he isn't champion.

 

[KO Shotz]

Blaydes isn't a scrub & can knock your lights out but he lost to Ngannou, Lewis, & Aspinall. Gotta get thru those guys to be at the top.

 

[JustforBROCK]

Welp add another moron to the ignore list.

 

[Söze Aldo]

Is it bad luck his head is a magnet for people's fists?

 

[HHJ]

Def bad luck that he basically got defeated by a jab lol

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

His Luck and Fight IQ Ratings are about the same

 

[Fact Checker]

It’s not that he’s unlucky, he’s just lacks the skill to be a championship caliber fighter.

Dudes striking defense is some of the worst in the UFC, he got by with mediocre wrestling creds against slow out of shape dudes in a division famished on grapplers. Now that he’s facing the few talented guys at HW he gets exposed.

I do think the UFC screwed him over by not feeding him a white belt like Gane though.

Pavlovich, Lewis, Ngannou and Aspinall do tend to kill most of their opponents to be fair.

It's not like he's getting KO'd by guys like Spivac, Tybura or Volkov.

That would be the funniest/saddest trifecta to get KOd by in HW.

Hardy almost made it happen, and funnily enough Volkov was the only one who took him the distance.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Not at all. He displays low fight IQ , he’s chinny and very one dimensional.

He’s a taylor made gatekeeper that makes contenders look good.

 

[Elegant]

All of his losses are to guys you could make an argument are the hardest hitters in UFC HW history

I think he has awful horrendous management

With the right ducking/cherry picking like most fighters do, he could've had the title

No fighter in MMA history fights Sergei, Ngannou x2, Lewis, and Aspinall and doesn't get KOd at least a few times

 

[g*r*b]

Curtis is an unfortunate example of where the whole is LESS than the sum of the parts. Some great skills but they don't seem to mesh together fluidly.

Ufc doesn’t care for him they won’t let him duck/cherry pick without making his life a living hell

 

[whocares]

A Blaydes caliber fighter at BW, FW or LW would be in the 10-15 range. He's mid and propped up by being in a weight class where there's nobody to uproot the top 10 guys.

Also why you trolling Curtis TS? Let the man sleep.

 

[Steve Fox]

Unlucky he fights opponents better than him.

Whoa the Volkov disrespect

2 of those were early stoppages if not more.

 

[usernamee]

Ngannou 1 - Doctor stoppage after Ngannou emptied his gas COMPLETELY. Curtis basically had to go through hell and he made it through only for shitty doctor to stop it.

Ngannou 2 time for a proper resolution - Standing TKO bullshit

Aspinall 1 - leg injury win

Aspinall 2 time for a proper resolution - Too early of a stoppage for a championship fight
