Blades wants to fight for interim belt with Gan

American heavyweight Curtis Blades commented on the victory for us by Chris Dokos at UFC Fight Night 205 and spoke about his future career plans.

Blades scored a victory by technical knockout in the second round.

“I think I deserved to fight for the interim belt against Gan. This is exactly what I want. We can fight in the summer, I'm ready.

I wanted to declare myself in this fight. I know that everyone, including Dokos and his team, expected passes from me to the legs. This slows down opponents: they wait for takedowns, land less punches, and I can hit and fight. Dokos waited for the fight and moved little, but I saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.

Stipe (Miocic, - approx.) in the hall? Hey Stipe, I want to be like you. Which means I might have to beat you. But I certainly respect you. You are one of the best in the world, one of the greatest heavyweights in history,” Blades said after the fight.
