Curtis Blaydes has a lot going for him at heavyweight

Curtis Blaydes is big, athletic and — as he proved on Saturday night — has a well-rounded skillset. On top of that, he’s only 31 years old. In the aging and shallow heavyweight division, all those things add up to make him a perennial title contender if not, at some point, a champion. Chris Daukaus? Weeeeeellll, maybe not so much. In other news, Demetrious Johnson and Sexyama nab wins in One Championship and new (troubling) shit has come to light about Chael Sonnen’s alleged drunken Las Vegas assaults.
