"Hokit appeared to wobble Blaydes on more than one occasion, but 'Razor' was never dropped, ultimately earning a hard-fought unanimous decision victory."
"Blaydes sustained a fractured orbital and a fractured nose in the bout, and while he has been released from a Miami hospital, a timetable for his recovery is currently unclear."
"'Razor' has been a fixture in the heavyweight Top 10 during his UFC tenure and owns notable victories over fighters like Mark Hunt and Alistair Overeem."
