A big clash in the UFC heavyweight division tops the bill this week as MMASucka provides you with UFC Fight Night 185 results. In the main event, Curtis Blaydes looks to potentially earn his long awaited title shot in the heavyweight division if he can defeat former title challenger Derrick Lewis. Blaydes enters into his fourth UFC main event having won his last four straight fights. Those wins include decision wins over Justin Willis and his most recent opponent, Alexander Volkov, as well as TKO wins over Shamil Abdurakhimov and Junior dos Santos.
As for Lewis, since he lost to then-champion Daniel Cormier, he has put together a record of 3-1. Following the loss to Cormier, Lewis would lose a second straight fight as Junior dos Santos defeated him about four months later. This was the first time ever in his career that Lewis had lost back-to-back fights. Since then, he has put together decision wins over Blagoy Ivanov and Ilir Latifi. In his last fight, he finished Aleksei Oleinik by TKO in the main event of UFC Fight Night 174.
