Curtis Blaydes added another big name to his list of victims in the UFC's heavyweight division at UFC 225 on Saturday. The Chicago-based fighter added Alistair Overeem to his resume in front of a hometown crowd via third-round TKO to close out the undercard.

Blaydes dominated the first two rounds with his aggressive wrestling game before finally ending the bout with vicious ground-and-pound in the third and final round.

This is a big win for Blaydes in terms of rankings and future promise. Overeem may be long in the tooth at 38 years old, but he's still a fighter with extensive experience in the UFC, Pride, Strikeforce and K-1.

Blaydes came into the bout ranked No. 4 in the rankings, but should be even higher after taking out No. 2 Overeem.

The 27-year-old has been riding his impressive wrestling to a now-five-fight win streak that includes another accomplished veteran in Mark Hunt as well as The Reem.

The lone blemishes on Blaydes' record are the Texas commision overturning his TKO win over Adam Milstead at UFC Fight Night 104 and a TKO loss at the hands of fellow UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou at Fight Night 86. It's a fight that Blaydes feels he'll eventually have the opportunity to avenge.

"It's inevitable," Blaydes said about facing Ngannou again, per Damon Martin of MMA Weekly. "I think we're both going to be around for the foreseeable future. I almost guarantee we'll have the rematch. When, I don't know? But it's inevitable."

With Ngannou scoring a knockout victory over Overeem at UFC 218 before losing a unanimous decision to Stipe Miocic at UFC 220, it will be interesting to see what the UFC decides to do with the two young heavyweight prospects moving forward.

Ngannou is ranked No. 1 in the UFC rankings, and Blaydes should be close to that come Monday after picking up the win this weekend.
