UFC heavyweight number four, Curtis Blades, commented on the organization of the title fight between Jon Jones and Cyril Gan, announcing his readiness to meet Sergey Pavlovich, who occupies the third line in the division.
“Of course I saw the news that Gan got another title shot against Jones,” the American wrote on the social network. “Most likely, I will get Pavlovich, who just beat Tuivasa, and that suits me. As long as my opponent is ahead of me in the rankings, I’m ready to fight. I hope it only takes one win for me to get a title shot.”
31-year-old Curtis Blades is on a three-win streak, the last of which he won last July at UFC Fight Night 208 in London, where his opponent, Tom Aspinall, suffered a knee injury in the 15th second of the match and was unable to continue. the fight.
Sergei Pavlovich, 30, is on an impressive five-fight streak in the UFC, knocking out Australian Tai Tuivasa in less than a minute in his last fight.
Recall that the heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Cyril Gan on March 4 will headline the UFC 285 tournament in Las Vegas, and the vacant champion title, vacated by Francis Ngannou, who left the organization, will be at stake in the fight.
