Curtis Blaydes is keeping a positive attitude after a brutal knockout loss to Derrick Lewis at UFC Fight Night 185. Blaydes (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) had his push toward a heavyweight title shot derailed this past Saturday when he was caught with a picture-perfect uppercut by Lewis (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) in the second round of their main event matchup at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The fight was going in Blaydes’ favor before the stunning shot. He was controlling the pace on the feet, but as “The Black Beast” has shown many times, it only takes one mistake against him. Blaydes made that mistake when he went for an ill-timed takedown. Despite the highlight-reel nature of the outcome, Blaydes said he’s not deterred.
