Bet on Blaydes vs Rozenstruik as two of the best in the UFC division collide in a title eliminator bout. The winner will put himself in a good spot and will probably be one win away from a shot at the belt. Both fighters possess a unique set of skills for the heavyweight division.

Bet on Blaydes vs Rozenstruik: Blaydes Has a Problem With Knockout Artists

With a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, Curtis Blaydes has worked his way up to the top of the UFC division. However, there is a reoccurring trend of him losing to the heavy hitters in the division. This trend started in his UFC debut against current champion Francis Ngannou in April of 2016. Although Blades was able to take all the shots Frances threw at him, the doctor had to step in to stop the fight due to accumulated damage to the eye. After the setback, Curtis worked his way up the rankings with a win after win before finding himself colliding with Ngannou again. This time, the Cameroonian mixed martial artists made sure he ended the fight 45 seconds inside round one. This did not stop Blaydes from creating another win streaking before getting knocked out in his last outing against Derrick Lewis.

Although the #4 heavyweight contender is struggling with a certain style of fighting, he is still one of the best the division has to offer. Blaydes holds wins over some of the greats in the heavyweight division including Alexander Volkov, Junior Dos Santos, and Alistair Overeem. Therefore, he has the skillset to defeat anyone at any day. However, his upcoming fight will be a tricky one as he faces an excellent striker. Do you think he will overcome the challenge? Go ahead and bet on Blaydes vs Rozenstruik.

Rozenstruik Working His Way to the Top

After making his UFC debut in February of 2019, Rozenstruik was predicted to become a top contender within a short period of time. Coming into the organization with an undefeated record, “Bigi Boy” managed to string a 4-fight win streak including a TKO finishing against Alistair Overeem. However, Rozenstruik is now 2-2 in his last four fights. Both of his losses came against current champion Francis Ngannou, and current interim champion Ciryl Gane. Therefore, he certainly is one of the best in the division. Also, with a few improvements and adjustments, Rozenstrik could certainly become a future champion.

The 33-year-old has already started his journey back to the title contention with a win against Augusto Sakai. However, Blaydes will be a tough challenge to overcome especially with the skillset he brings into the octagon. A win over the #4 contender would probably put Rozenstruik one win away from a shot at the title. If Rozenstruik improves his takedown defense, then it is going to be a long night for his opponent. Do believe that “Bigi Boy” has the skillset to pull of the win? Here is how to bet on Blaydes vs Rozenstruik.
