Curtis Blaydes is a heavyweight fighter with a strong wrestling background, which he leverages to control opponents on the ground with dominant takedowns and ground-and-pound. His main strength lies in his ability to smother adversaries with relentless pressure, making it difficult for them to mount any effective offense. While his striking has improved over time, his reliance on wrestling can sometimes leave him vulnerable to powerful strikers and highlight a need for more diverse stand-up skills. Additionally, his cardio has occasionally been a concern in longer, grueling fights.
