Blaydes is riding a four-fight winning streak. He was hoping to capitalize off the momentum this weekend but he will have to wait. As for Lewis, he has won three straight bouts and was hoping to get himself back in title contention. A win over Blaydes would have him near the top of the heap but it wasn’t meant to be this Saturday.
