Prior to that defeat, \u2018Salsa Boy\u2019 had strung together three-straight knockout victories over opponents Ante Delija, Shamil Gaziev and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/josh-hokit\/pros-react-to-josh-hokit-stopping-derrick-lewis-at-ufc-freedom-250\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Derrick Lewis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Curtis Blaydes (20-6 MMA) was most previously seen in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Octagon<\/a> this past April at UFC 327, where he suffered a decision loss to Josh Hokit in a FOTN performance. Prior to that setback, \u2018Razor\u2019 had earned a split decision victory over Rizvan Kuniev in June of last year.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The heavyweights are up next \ud83c\udf7f<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WaldoCortesUFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@WaldoCortesUFC<\/a> vs <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RazorBlaydes265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@RazorBlaydes265<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/NocheUFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#NocheUFC<\/a> is LIVE NOW on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/paramountplus?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@ParamountPlus<\/a> ] <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wUF2LvxGpV\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/wUF2LvxGpV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ufc\/status\/2098890896217710809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">September 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Round one of tonight\u2019s Noche UFC 4 main card heavyweight matchup begins and both men are showing a lot of respect to start. Waldo Cortes-Acosta is clearly trying to keep his distance to avoid the \u2018Razor\u2019 takedown. Blaydes staying measured and not taking any risks. He finally closes the distance and gets in on a takedown. Some control time for Curtis Blaydes but not much offense. Waldo gets up to his feet. Again a lot of respect being shown. Blaydes with a nice shot late. We head to round two.<\/p>\n<p>Round two was a better round for Waldo Cortes-Acosta. He landed the better shots and prevented being taken back down to the ground by Blaydes. \u2018Razor\u2019 was able to get off some good low kicks, but it likely wasn\u2019t enough to take the round.<\/p>\n<p>The third and final round begins and this is quickly going down as one of the most boring fights in heavyweight history. Which is really saying something. Neither man is willing to take any risks. Both men also appear to be slowing down as well. Blaydes looking to find a home for an overhand right. He drops down and shoots for a takedown and gets it. Curtis Blaydes is doing a good job of controlling position while landing some short shots from top position. This fight will go to decision. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Back in the win column \u2705<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RazorBlaydes265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@RazorBlaydes265<\/a> gets the UD win to become tied for 4th for most heavyweight wins in UFC history!<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/NocheUFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#NocheUFC<\/a> is LIVE NOW on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/paramountplus?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@ParamountPlus<\/a> ] <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/anXZYE4q4w\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/anXZYE4q4w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ufc\/status\/2098898057769439506?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">September 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Official Noche UFC 4 Results: Curtis Blaydes def.
