Blaydes entered the UFC 5-0 and now he is 17-4 in which he has fought: N'Gannou twice, Volkov, Lewis, Overewm, Hunt, Oleynik, JDS, Shamil, Rozenstruik, Almeida, Pavlovich and Aspinall. That's a bunch of killers and different styles that he has seen plus he knows what is like to go the full 25 minutes
