Ahead of his UFC Vegas 71 main event fight with Sergei Pavlovich this weekend in Las Vegas, surging heavyweight contender, Curtis Blaydes has touted his ability to hand newly minted undisputed champion, Jon Jones his first loss in the weight division.
Returning to the Octagon this weekend in ‘Sin City’, Blaydes, the current #4 ranked heavyweight contender, is scheduled to headline against streaking Russian knockout artist, Pavlovich – in a potential title-eliminator at the heavyweight limit.
Most recently headlining UFC Fight Night London back in July of last year, Blaydes managed to land a TKO victory over Tom Aspinall inside just 15 seconds of the opening round after the Atherton native suffered a knee injury.
