Top Heavyweight UFC Curtis Blades explained why he considers himself the most difficult opponent for the division champion John Jones.

ā€œI am the toughest opponent for Jones. I have size, wrestling, athleticism, speed and mobility. I have everything I need to face off against a talent like Jones.

I know that his arm span is greater than mine. I'll have to find a way to get into its range. I may have to use my elbows, get into a clinch, but I believe I can take him down. I believe that if I transfer someone to the stalls, then the odds will be in my favor, ā€MMA Fighting quotes Blades.
