Top American heavyweight Curtis Blades has shared his opinion on famed compatriot Jon Jones, who currently holds the title in his division.

"I'm sorry Jon, but I don't think you've fought heavyweights. I'm sorry you haven't. I view Aspinall as a guy with a real belt. Aspinall looks good. You can't say anything bad about him. I'll be honest, Jones doesn't look like a heavyweight. He looks a little heavy. He doesn't have the legs of a heavyweight. I don't view him as a heavyweight," Blades said on The MMA Hour show.

As a reminder, Blades and Aspinall will share the octagon on July 27 at UFC 304 in Manchester, UK.
