It's otherwise an all-lightweight main card today, but right now the heavyweights are taking over the Octagon. Curtis Blaydes (11-2), No. 4 in the ESPN divisional rankings, is taking on Shamil Abdurakhimov (20-4). Blaydes has won four of his last five, and Abdurakhimov has won three in a row. Big stakes, you might say.
