Curtis Blaydes remained unapologetic following his victory, however, he acknowledged it not being his favorite performance. Curtis Blaydes has remained steadfast in his views surrounding his recent dust-up with Dana White.
“He doesn’t like me for two, actually, three reasons. A, I speak my mind, he doesn’t like that. B, my style, what I bring to the Octagon. I’m grappling heavy. And C, because yeah I do believe I don’t get paid what I’m worth and I speak on that. So he’s just using this to try to make me feel bad I guess, so I won’t speak out again, but it’s not going to work,” Blaydes said.
In light of recent history, it appears that Dana White will move past Blaydes if push comes to shove.
