Blaydes dominated the fight, showcasing his top-notch wrestling in a strong performance that lacked the flash and finish that would have been required to secure a title shot. While Blaydes won on every judges scorecard, it was a measured, tactical approach that certainly didn’t put the bout into “Fight of the Night” contention. After the bout UFC president Dana White spoke out on Blaydes’ performance and demeanour.

“Yeah, he won. He talked a lot of sh** coming in this week. I don’t think you talk the sh** he talked this week and come in and perform like that. Talking about rag-dolling people, and he’s not getting paid, and yada yada, he should be getting the title shot. He gassed out at the end of the third round, made it to the fifth and won the fight. Yeah, he won.”

Featherweights Josh Emmett and Shane Burgos met int he co-main event that stole the show. Burgos set an intense pace in the opening stanza, and while the first two rounds were close, Emmett sealed the deal by securing the third round.

Former title contender Raquell Pennington returned to the win column with a victory over Marion Reneau, and veteran Jim Miller tapped out Rosevelt Roberts, putting a stop to the latter’s hype train.
