And, at UFC 327, an event held this Saturday (11), the 'new Chael Sonnen' has claimed another victim. The 28-year-old heavyweight prospect (up to 120,2 kg) was not intimidated by the experience of Curtis blaydes And he overcame him violently. With a lot of provocation and determination, the athlete prevailed by unanimous decision.

The fight between the professionals was so remarkable that many are already calling it the most exciting in heavyweight history.
