Curtis Blaydes, better known as "Razor", holds the #7 spot at heavyweight, flying the flag for the United States — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 5.1 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas. Add a 80" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Josh Hokit (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
Next up: Waldo Cortes Acosta at Noche UFC on September 13, 2026. Circle the date.
