He trains at high altitude as well. He comes to my morning classes a couple times a week. So he&#8217;s not one of my religious pupils, I would say. But when he is in here, you know, he&#8217;s like any Top-10, Top-five, world class athlete. He just picks everything up right away. He&#8217;s a good student, real humble guy. I love having the guy here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blaydes&#8217; next challenge will occur <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/alistair-overeem\/report-alistair-overeem-vs-curtis-blaydes-works-ufc-225\/\">at UFC 225, when he battles form Strikeforce, Dream and K-1 heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem<\/a>. While Overeem&#8217;s striking skill could spell disaster for Blaydes, Ludwig feels his pupil has the ability to win \u2013 and the power to win by stoppage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love Overeem, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a great matchup for Overeem,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think Curtis is going to beat Overeem, and he has the power to stop him. He definitely has the wrestling to beat him. We all know that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Ludwig doesn&#8217;t serve as Blaydes&#8217;s main coach, he will be helping the heavyweight prepare for this momentous challenge, just as he&#8217;s done in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When he comes in [I say] &#8216;What do you want to work on? Hunt is good at this, Overeem is good at this. Let&#8217;s make sure we do this and this.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Ludwig added that one feature of his Bang Muay Thai system is inspired by Overeem, so there&#8217;s a chance Blaydes could defeat Overeem with an maneuver that is actually named after him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We actually have a good chunk of our system that&#8217;s called &#8216;The Reem&#8217; \u2013 to cross-Reem, to hook-Reem,&#8221; Ludwig explained. &#8220;&#8216;Reem&#8217; is an actual audio command in our system. So it&#8217;s kind of ironic and funny that Curtis is fighting him and he may do an actual Reem on Overeem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though Curtis Blaydes&#8217;s victory against a fighter of Alistair Overeem&#8217;s caliber is certainly not guaranteed, Ludwig said the rising heavyweight has been an absolute sponge thus far, and he expects him to continue evolving quickly as a result.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a world-class athlete&#8230; he&#8217;s a coordinated human being that&#8217;s very athletic, so whatever you show him he picks it up pretty quick,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He always making gains and the more he is in there the better he&#8217;ll become. I can&#8217;t say training with me is going to provide success for sure, but it&#8217;s definitely not going to hurt, I&#8217;ll say that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How do you think Curtis Blaydes will perform against Alistair Overeem at UFC 225?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 3\/22\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curtis Blaydes is one of the fastest-rising contenders in the UFC heavyweight division, and Duane Ludwig has played a definite role in the wrestling specialist&#8217;s emergence as such.
