Tale of the Tape
Shrnutí výsledku
Curtis Blaydes earned a unanimous decision victory over Waldo Cortes-Acosta (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in a heavyweight bout at Noche UFC in Glendale, Arizona on September 12, 2026. Blaydes dictated the pace throughout all three rounds with relentless takedown attempts, successfully putting Cortes-Acosta on the canvas multiple times and controlling from back position or along the cage fence. Cortes-Acosta managed occasional escapes and showed his jab at range, but could not sustain enough offensive output to sway the judges. The crowd at Desert Diamond Arena grew audibly frustrated with the grappling-heavy approach, though Blaydes' consistent wrestling proved too methodical for Cortes-Acosta to overcome.
Přehled zápasu
Curtis Blaydes, the UFC's most accomplished title-less heavyweight, looks to bounce back after a wild decision loss to Josh Hokit that earned a Fight of the Night bonus but no win, while Waldo Cortes-Acosta returns from a setback against Alexander Volkov. Both men sit just outside the heavyweight title picture and can't afford another loss, pitting Blaydes's elite volume wrestling against Cortes-Acosta's nine-knockout finishing power.
Klíče k vítězství
Curtis Blaydes
- Get the fight to the ground early and establish top position, where his ground-and-pound has finished the majority of his opponents.
- Smother Cortes-Acosta against the cage before he can establish distance and generate power from the power punches that have hurt Blaydes.
- Maintain takedown volume across all three rounds and avoid standing exchanges where a single clean shot from Cortes-Acosta can end the night.
Waldo Cortes-Acosta
- Land heavy jabs and straight rights to punish Blaydes's wrestling entries before he closes the distance to clinch.
- Stay disciplined defensively off the fence — use head movement and counterstrikes to punish telegraphed double-leg attempts.
- Prioritize lateral movement and staying off the cage, where Blaydes clinches and grinds most of his wrestling success.
