Curtis Blaydes finds himself in an interesting spot in the heavyweight division heading into Saturday. With Francis Ngannou having surgery, along with Stipe Miocic, Jon Jones, Tai Tuivasa, Tom Aspinall, and Ciryl Gane in the championship picture, will a win for Blaydes over Chris Daukaus in the main event of UFC Columbus move him any closer to a title opportunity?
MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Alexander K. Lee, and Jed Meshew discuss the top storylines ahead of the UFC's first Fight Night event in front of U.S. fans outside of the APEX in over two years.
