I respectfully disagree. Blaydes does not have "all the skill" ... he literally is elite at nothing.
Usually fighters that become champion are ELITE at "something" ... and/or have incredible intelligence and fight IQ ... and/or perseverance under extreme adversity.
Look at GSP ... look at Jones ... look at prime Silva.
Curtis Blaydes is not elite and anything, not even the nuances of Fight IQ, or incredible willpower.
Not every fighter is champion material. Most are not. Curtis Blaydes is among the "most are not" group, not the Elite Group.
