The heavyweight talent has been widely criticized by a slew of crumb-covered, armchair fighters who would have preferred to see him recklessly engage his brick-fisted opponent in a slug-fest than rely on his bread and butter and wrestle.<\/p>\n<p>Though it seems insane that it has come to this, Blaydes recently addressed his critics on Twitter, recommending they go watch boxing or kickboxing if they\u2019re not interested in watching MMA\u2019s grappling-based components from time to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend, in the co-main event of UFC 221, Chicago\u2019s Curtis Blaydes burst into heavyweight title contention with an impressive, unanimous decision win over veteran knockout artist Mark Hunt.
