The UFC returned in front of crowds for non-PPV events in the U.S. on Saturday with UFC on ESPN 33 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The 12-fight card was capped off by a sensational showing from Curtis Blaydes (16-3 MMA, 10-4 UFC), who used his hands and no wrestling to crush Chris Daukaus (12-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) into a second-round TKO and remind everyone that he’s still a young and evolving player in the heavyweight division. Blaydes set some personal records in the win, but there were other bits of UFC history across the card, as well.
