Jon Jones, UFC heavyweight champion, reacted to the announcement of a fight between Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blades
"Curtis vs. Tom is a fight to be the number one official challenger. The trolls are telling me I'm slowing down the division because of my injury. Meanwhile, the next two heavyweights aren't even the main event? Interesting. I'm on track, and I have until November to remind the world. Again. I wouldn't be surprised if Curtis wins. If Sergey was able to get Tom so easily, I'm sure Curtis can do it too. When Curtis comes forward, he's faster than people think and he has a very strong punch. With a few well-timed punches and a strong ground game, it could be a long night for ol' Tom. Of course, I always root for Americans, especially American fighters, and regardless of who wins, Curtis is not an easy outing. Either way, I'll be watching with interest."
