That is true and they both don't have personalities to draw people in. Also in this day and age these guys have the ability to do a lot more to promote themselves. The UFC and fighters both are dropping the ball, especially in Tom's case with his style, power, and Highlight reel.

Blaydes is my favorite heavyweight

LETS GO CURTIS

Blaydes is slowly becoming one of my favorite fighters. very likable and well spoken

Look at it like this, Stipe is getting the next title shot?

He specifically said he doesn't do much media or promote himself much because of his stutter. I bet if he put himself out there more he could've potentially gotten a title shot faster!

Blaydes seems like a cool dude,wish him the best in the aspinall fight

go get that title blaydes

Rooting for you blaydes

Wish more fighters were as honest and humble as Curtis. Great guy! Best of luck!

Man this is one of those fights I wish that one of these guys didn’t have to lose. Respect to both of these dudes both class guys

I Respect this

Can always rely on Ariel to start things with an "Are you mad at me?"

The fans know this is a fight for the real belt

I totally agree with Curtis, he is fighting for the real belt. Tom needs to promote and market himself as the real champ with the real belt....and call the Jon/Stipe belt the pensioners division belt. Simple as. Tom really needs to push himself as the undisputed, in everything he says and does....plus it gets under Jones skin, Jones can't handle it, gets riled up easy, as narcissists do.

curtis is a real one fr i can see him being champ soon

I could see curtis hanging with strickland and chris curtis be the cool trio

Curtis, you are supposed to say you are the best heavyweight in the world.

Ayyyy razor!!!

Cool killer, what a nice guy I'm team Aspinal but love this guy kinda hoping it's a draw, I won't be disappointed whoever wins .

Curtis is a great guy. Not sure why some mma fans give him a hard time. I couldn’t dislike the guy if you paid me

Just an observation but his stutter seems to be very much less active during this interview. I don't care either way but I just wanted to give props to him if he's working on it or maybe he's just more relaxed right now.

Curtis blaydes goat

Gotta love him

I hope Curtis wins and brings the UFC to Chicago.

Wish Tom had already beaten Jones and this was for the main belt. Blades seems like a good dude

big bones blaydes

If he wasn't against Aspinall next I'd he supporting him.

It’s honestly insane they tried to give Gane the fight, he deserves nothing close to a title shot. Respect to Curtis, a good dude and one of the most likable heavyweights.

Salute to Blades

Isn’t Jones giving Stipe a chance. Jones gave countless chances at the belt and remained undefeated.

I find it hilarious that Ariel says Lyoto and Rashad and rampage all gave Jones the opportunity and he's not returning the favor. Why is he trying to rewrite history? Jones was the champion! He gave those guys their opportunity!

hardest hitting 145er

How can you not respect Blaydes? Dude overcame so much to be a top 10 HW on the planet. He's skilled, genuine, keeps it real and calls Jones' PED legacy as a fake legacy (which it is)

Based.

Curtis mic is so bad it makes this interview unlistenable

Blaydes is the most humble fighter cmv

So underrated but he has talent skills

T-T-T- Today Junior

"Suprise, suprise" Curtis says that the guy he's fighting is the real HW champ. Of course that's his rational, bc if he beats Tom..ding, ding, ding. I'll bet he'll looking at it differently & singing a different tune if Tom was fighting Gane & Curtis was the guy that's going to be fighting Jon at MSG instead of Stipe. That said, well done to Curtis, on overcoming his speech impediment & doing more media nowadays.

Ariel is the best but you wrong on jon on this my man when he was getting the legends hes was champ shogun was his only opportunity everyone else wanted the belt

Curtis needs to buy a microphone

Blaydes could’ve been champ imo if he didn’t run into Ngannou twice. He still can be champ

Dude sound like hes going to let Tom win.

Jon is a has been... if he was such a goat and a current pfp number 1 Dana wouldn't have to keep tryna remind everyone on every platform hes on

I kno Curtis is normally a Mumbles Mouth, but i couldn't understand a freqkin thing he said And im NOT making fun of his speech impediment, didnt realized he had 1 till now. Not Hate

Fun rematch. The heavyweight division needs to move on and everyone should just be active. No need to mention all the lame drama by Dana, which is the reason MMA is turning more and more into boxing.

No I’m not surprised Jon Jones is selfish

Aspinall MIGHT be under-promoted. A case can certainly be made for that. However, this dude, Blades, is not. He's a boring fighter that no body wants to watch. He's also been given opportunities but always came up short.

Blades lacks defense and is chinny if aspinall cant get a knock out blades wins a decision 👏

Bones is NOT the REAL heavyweight champ discussion OVER

Hmmmm...

How about you say you’re the best not Tom. You want to beat him, right? And no one but shogun have jon jones a fight, michida, rampage, Rashad were challenging for Jon’s belt.

hes gunna beat aspinal and all of you gunna be so sad lmfao

Curtis prob have better chance beating jones than aspinal.

Blades feels he was inches away from knocking Tom out prior to his injury, so he's definitely confident going into this scrap!!

I somhow think BLAYDES is the only one who can beat Jones.....but Jon Jones and the UFC are ducking the fvck out of Him, sad.

When Jon was young the legends weren’t “giving him fights.” Jon was the champion. They had to go through him to get the belt.
