Commentary on Josh Haquit's performance against Curtis Blaydes highlights his increasingly heavy hands and improved striking variability under Winkeljohn's coaching. Despite absorbing many strikes, Haquit maintained power through all three rounds and showed strong takedown defense. However, his reckless brawling style, which succeeded against Blaydes, could lead to knockout defeat against elite strikers like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. The analyst notes that while Derrick Lewis remains a potential opponent, Lewis may enter the bout prioritizing money and avoiding damage over securing victory. Haquit's deviant behavior and showmanship align perfectly with Dana White and Trump's preferences, especially with Trump attending in the front row.
