Curtis ‘Razor’ Blaydes has seldom failed to impress the fighting community with his fights. Be it Jailton Almeida, or Alexander Volkov, Blaydes simply walks through his opponents. This strength might be the result of all the love and support he receives from his family.

Blaydes has been in the UFC for almost 8 years now. In those 8 years, he has fought the absolute best in the division. However, despite being in the UFC for such a long time, there isn’t much known about the heavyweight, as he hasn’t been the most vocal of fighters. Today, let’s take a look at Blaydes’ personal life.

Who is Curtis Blaydes’ girlfriend? Does he have kids?

Despite being an absolute animal inside the UFC cage, Curtis Blaydes is a loving fighter outside the UFC Octagon. ‘Razor’ has a daughter with his spouse, Alexandria Wright, who often posts images and pictures of the trio on their Instagram accounts. Blaydes and Wright have been together for over 7 years and are engaged to each other.

According to Alexandria Wright’s Instagram account, she looks to be the CEO of a skincare company known as ‘Rouxled’, which sells a wide array of its own skincare products. Wright seems to love spending time with her daughter, as she often posts pictures of their time together on her social media accounts.

It looks to be the same for the UFC heavyweight as he has mentioned that his daughter was the best thing that has ever happened to him.

Despite all the support that he received from his loving family, there was a time when ‘Razor’ was afraid of winning. It’s not like he didn’t want to get his hands raised. It’s just that he dreaded the interview that came after. Intrigued? Let’s find out why!

Does Curtis Blaydes have a disability?

To answer the question above, Blaydes did have a bit of trouble with stutter. The neurologic disability built fear in Blaydes’ mind every time he won a fight. In a talk with The Denver Post, the heavyweight phenomenon said, “Initially, I dreaded the interviews more than I was nervous for the actual fight. It would be like, ‘Oh (damn), I won, now I’ve got to do an interview.’ And I had to get over that, because if you expect to win, that means you expect to do interviews.”

Blaydes was bullied as a child due to his stutter. But instead of giving in, he found ammunition for his motivation to train. He took up wrestling and excelled at it. His fight is not just against his opponents inside the Octagon, but also with the misconception that stutter was linked to lower intelligence. Needless to say, the heavyweight fighter, with his achievements inside the MMA cage, has pumped up his confidence and embraced the disability. Now, his only focus is the championship belt.

Blaydes is one step closer to his dream as he gets ready to take the fight to Tom Aspinall to compete for the interim title. Fueled with support from his loved ones, Blaydes is sure to give a phenomenal display in his upcoming bout.
