#4 Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis/Marcin Tybura winner

<p>

After losing his UFC debut to recent title challenger Francis N'Gannou, Blaydes has gone on to win his next four fights. His recent win came over the legendary Super Samoan Mark Hunt and is by far the biggest win of his career.

Derrick Lewis and Marcin Tybura will do battle this Sunday in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 126. Both these guys are coming off a loss as Lewis lost to Mark Hunt and Tybura lost to Fabricio Werdum. A win here will put them back in the race for the title.

This bout is the most sensible option for Blaydes as a fight with Werdum would be a premature decision and Alistair Overeem would need to take a step back and fight someone a bit further down the rankings.
