Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lews has a new date. The heavyweight fight will headline the UFC fight night event on Feb. 20, according to sources. It was originally scheduled for Nov. 28 but got canceled the day before after Blaydes tested positive for COVID, Helwani tweeted.

Curtis Blaydes is currently unbeaten in his last four fights, with dominant victories over opponents like Junior dos Santos and Alexander Volkov. ‘Razor‘ has comeback strongly after his first-round loss to Francis ‘the Predator’ Ngannou. The number 2 ranked heavyweight contender can earn the right to a title shot, if he wins the bout.

Derrick Lewis, on the other hand, is on a three fight win streak, with his last loss coming against Junior dos Santos, who was easily beaten by Blaydes. The number 4 ranked heavyweight contender too, will be looking for a victory, as a win would surely propel him to the top of the rankings, earning him a title shot as well.
