Curtis Blades is looking to make a comeback by the end of the summer after his defeat by TKO at the hands of Sergei Pavlovich.
For the longest time now, Curtis Blades has been a competitor in the UFC’s heavyweight division. Unfortunately for him, whenever it looks like he’s about to get a title, he falls short at the last hurdle. It happened against Francis Nganoo, Derrick Lewis, and more recently, Sergei Pavlovich.

The Russian sensation was able to finish off Blaydes in the first round of the collision main event. Since then, fans have wondered what would be next for Curtis.
Instead of spending a lot of time wallowing in self-pity, Blaydes took a more subtle approach, as he noted during a recent interview.
“Always after a TKO or a KO, you want to tune in to the brain because I’m always thinking ahead. That’s always part of it… I’m not one of those guys who, after a loss especially by TKO, don’t look to get back out there just to prove to the world.”
