They said what?! Pros react to Curtis Blaydes’ decision win over Mark Hunt at UFC 221

Can the old guard hold ground or will the new school take over? #Hunt or #Blaydes #UFC221

I believe Hunt really can "knock out anyone in the Universe." #ufc221 pic.twitter.com/20CGaLwfAY

Blaydes might give hunt trouble though.

Hunt looks like he's baiting him for a counter left hook. #UFC221

Desperation TD for Blaydes. He was rocked, badly. #ufc221

Blaydes is a smart man because that famous walk-off looked like it was coming to the Ozzie’s!! #UFC221

Somehow I caught Uriah Faber’s expression right after Blaydes landed the takedown and we were making the same exact face #UFC221

Don’t worry Curtis, we’re all afraid to get hit by Mark Hunt. #UFC221

Damn. @RazorBlaydes265 has a fucking chin

— Lando Vannata (@GroovyLando) February 11, 2018

Did Blaydes just pick up and slam Mark Hunt? #UFC221

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) February 11, 2018

Position before submission! #UFC221

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) February 11, 2018

I’m amazed at Blaydes’ ability to adjust after the damage he took in the first round! When fighters fight smart there’s always a little bit of this in me tho. #UFC221 pic.twitter.com/1FoYzAbNgh

Nothing makes me yell profanities at my tv more than Hunto getting taken down. #ufc221

Mark Hunt is a true legend #Respect #UFC221

I immediately dislike anyone who beats Mark Hunt. I'm that fan ‍♀️ #UFC221

— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) February 11, 2018

Blaydes showed a lot of heart and an incredible chin to survive in the first round. Great win for him. #ufc221

— Matheus Nicolau (@NicolauMatheus) February 11, 2018

Man so hard watching a prospect you want to see do well fight a legend you’ve always looked up to. #UFC221

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) February 11, 2018

Would be cool if the @UFC released Mark Hunt and he finished his career with @GLORY_WS #UFC221

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) February 11, 2018

Blades used his wrestling perfectly. Congrats. Big win
