Las Vegas, June 21: Curtis Blaydes outworked Alexander Volkov in the main event of UFC on ESPN 11: Blaydes vs. Volkov on Saturday (June 20) at UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas.

Blaydes dominated the 6-foot-7 Russian throughout the bout, setting a new record for most takedowns in the heavyweight division. Razor Blaydes succeeded on 14 of 25 takedown attempts and racked up scores of 49-46, 48-47 and 48-46 for his fourth straight victory.

"I'm tired," Blaydes said on the broadcast afterward through heavy inhales. "Volkov was a lot harder than I thought to take down. He has big strong legs.

".. Always good experience to know you can go five rounds. I know I've got to work on my conditioning after the third round."

The event was the fourth of five consecutive UFC shows held over five weekends with no fans on its corporate campus. After next week's show headlined by Dustin Poirier's meeting with Dan Hooker, the UFC will move to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi for four shows in 14 days, beginning with UFC 251 on July 12.

In the co-main event, Josh Emmett also earned a unanimous decision win against Shane Burgos in a featherweight bout.

Emmett and Burgos put on the performance of the night with a fascinating slugfest, with Emmett winning 29-28, 29-28 and 29-27. The 35-year-old Emmett persevered through a knee injury in the first round to land two knockdowns and a dominant third round, but Burgos absorbed tremendous punishment and thought he had earned a decision.

Also on the main card, there were two more decision wins as Raquel Pennington defeated Marion Reneau in a battle of women bantamweights with scores of 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 and Belal Muhammad of Palestine outlasted fellow welterweight Lyman Good with a trio of 29-28 scores.

Meanwhile, Jim Miller earned a submission victory over Roosevelt Roberts with an armbar at 2:25 during the first round of a catchweight bout.

In the preliminary card, there were three decsion wins and four stoppage win with the most notable undercard result coming in a lightweight bout, in which Austin Hubbard defeated Max Rohskopf by technical knockout after the latter retired after two rounds.

There were also wins for Bobby Green, Tecia Torres, Marc-Andre Barriault, Gillian Robertson, Justin Jaynes and Lauren Murphy.
