There was no action for \u201cThe Action Man.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight-turned Welterweight Chris Curtis suffered a lackluster unanimous decision loss to top prospect Myktybek Orolbai at UFC Vegas 114<\/a> this past weekend (Sat., March 14, 2026) inside the Meta Apex<\/a> in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n On paper, the matchup looked like it would produce fireworks. Both fighters are known as finishers and creative strikers, but the bout quickly turned into a grappling-heavy affair.<\/p>\n Orolbai repeatedly grounded Curtis throughout the fight, racking up 19 takedowns, which now ranks as the third-most takedowns landed in a single fight in UFC history and most in Welterweight history.<\/p>\n Following the loss, Curtis took to Facebook <\/a>to share his frustration with the performance.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, that was as fun as a wet fart in church. Sorry guys,\u201d Curtis wrote. \u201cPhysical therapy went well. My knee held up. I had a great camp. No excuses. Just a shit night and a shit fight. Man had really good grip strength, and it\u2019s incredibly hard to fight a man who has no intention of being in a fight. Got some thinking to do and some stuff to figure out. But I walked out with no Physical damage at all, just my pride really hurt. Thanks for the love and support. We\u2019ll see where we go from here. #Notdeadyet.\u201d<\/p>\n Curtis\u2019 blunt reaction is fairly typical for the outspoken veteran, who has never been shy<\/a> about expressing his frustration (and saltiness<\/a>) following fights.<\/p>\n The defeat drops Curtis (32-13) to 1-1 since moving down to Welterweight after spending most of his UFC run competing at Middleweight. After starting his UFC career with a perfect 3-0 record \u2014 including two knockout wins<\/a> \u2014 the 38-year-old is now just 3-5-1 in his last nine bouts, with notable losses to Roman Kopylov and Brendan Allen in their rematch.<\/p>\n
