Curtis at middleweight had some notable feats, including some records. Curtis has made a lasting impression on the active middleweight records as he is ranked 3rd in takedown defense, 7th fortotal fight night bonuses, 9th in significant strikes landed and 5th in strikes landed per minute at 6.07.
These stats share a story of someone that wants to entertain and has a knack for putting on a show. Curtis is certainly game bred and ready to do just that.

“I feel at home at 170. Against other welterweights, I feel strong again, me having that confidence of not worrying about being undersized lets me fight the way that I am comfortable fighting. I get to go back to the style of fighting that I had before, mixed with some new stuff. It’s a confidence thing, but I feel ready and that I belong at 170.”
It will be interesting to see how Curtis adjusts to going down and if the power will translate like speed usually does. His opponent, Max Griffin, is another seasoned veteran at almost 40 years of age. Griffin also has power in his hands, so expectations are high for a striker’s delight.
