UFC Fight Night card: Curtis Blaydes vs Chris Daukaus and all bouts this weekend

All you need to know about the main event and undercard

Heavyweight action headlines this weekend’s UFC Fight Night, as Curtis Blaydes and Chris Daukaus go head-to-head and each man looks to insert himself into the title picture.

Blaydes (15-3, 1 No Contest) has twice put together solid win streaks to close in on a title shot, only to suffer a loss and lose momentum on both occasions.

The American rebounded from his most recent defeat by outpointing Jairzinho Rozenstruik in September, while compatriot Chris Daukaus (12-4) won five in a row before suffering a first-round knockout loss to Derrick Lewis last time out.

Former police officer Daukaus will look to secure a statement victory over Blaydes here and reestablish himself as a genuine contender in the division.
