Curtis Blaydes, Marcin Tybura.....sparks to light up the HW division again?

[truthisfreedom]

Love watching both of these dudes fight. Both game as hell.


Marcin Tybura
16 -3
Only 1 TKO loss, brought Werdum (Basically one of the top 3 greatest HWs of all time) to decision
Great to see a slick HW submission artist
Quick and crisp striking, especially for a HW
Humble, hard working dude


Curtis Blaydes
10 - 1 ( only loss to Ngannou)
Tough as hell, only guy to not get finished by Francis ( wanted to keep fighting, but doctor stopped it)
Won all fights except one, by stoppage.
Sick ass name


How far can these guys go?

 

[Furious77]

Curtis Blaydes is a pretty dope name.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Heavyweight has a decent roster right now. Could get interesting come 2019. Just need a healthy Cain to add to the mix.

 

[Leone510]

It is lite up it's just contract disputes and injuries have set it back but that will always be the case because the big guys get hurt.

Curtis is more than a spark, mark my words he's a future Champion.

 

[Soul On Ice]

That Francis dewd looks pretty good too

 

[blaseblah]

Curtis Blaydes has potential to be a contender, Tybura not so much.

Tybura is not very good. Blaydes is a bit wild, but composed at the same time and he's still young and in the HW division. I expect him to be a perennial top 5 guy, if not touch gold.

 

[Evangelion]

Tuivasa is better than Tybura as is Ledet.

Not very good? Even for the UFC he's at the very least "good". Considering the division and the top guys nowadays

I don't consider fighters good just because the division requires it. I compare fighters to other fighters, other good fighters. He isn't comparable to them.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Blaydes fought nobody. People are so high on him but he will get KTFO by top guys. He is nothing special.

He wasn't knocked out by Ngannou, lol.

He's an improving prospect who already has talent. That's special, especially in the HW division.

Ngannou imporved so much from that time. And Curtis was beaten pretty badly in that fight. If he actually fought instead of run Ngannou would KO him.

If they fight again, Ngannou KTFO Blaydes inside 2 minutes.

As for him improving how can we know that when he fough some random terrible guys. Lets see him fight Brawlovski or Reem (like Ngannou) or JDS and then we will know how much he really improved

so u think tybura is a bad fighter?

bro, u know if he went to his home country he would be one of the favorites to win an open weight division tourney/belt wahtever

just think about that

ehh whatever, stupid to discuss. i guess its all relative. i still think hes top 10 hw in ufc currently, top 15.

Well, I mean..he's not top 10..that's been proven. lol. He's lost like 50% of his last handful of fights and only one of them was against a legit guy. Fringed ranked? Maybe. That's not saying anything though, the HW division is atrocious. That's not to say he's a bad fighter, but he's certainly not on my list of good fighters, because it would be a disservice to them, and whether he'd win a open weight tournament when he's a HW from a small country isn't indicative of his skill level on a global professional level.

Compare him to guys in other divisions and there's just not a comparison in skill level.

 

[WarriorPoet1]

Curtis might have something i remember tuning into the Francis fight to check him out NCAA champ 5-0 at the time

 

[lenbiasgoat]

Nope not sold on either right now

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

Heavyweight has a decent roster right now. Could get interesting come 2019. Just need a healthy Cain to add to the mix.

Just need to add Minakov, Ivanov, Pavlovich, Goltsov and Kharitonov into the mix too.... then it would be REALLY interesting.
