On episode 20 of The Fighter vs. The Writer, UFC heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes joins the show to help breakdown the UFC 270 main event where Francis Ngannou successfully defended his title with a unanimous decision victory over Ciryl Gane. Blaydes will share his opinions on Ngannou’s performance, and the way he managed to use his wrestling skills to defeat Gane after Gane’s early knockout failed.

Blaydes will also discuss Ngannou’s ongoing battle with the UFC over his contract and the pursuit of a lucrative boxing match against heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader also joins the show this week to talk about his upcoming title defense against Valentin Moldavsky, what went wrong in his fight with Corey Anderson and how his days competing at 205 pounds are likely over.

Bader will also address a potential rematch against Fedor Emelianenko and what it would take for him to travel to Russia for that fight.
