There are many names thrown out when thinking about Jon Jones ’ pending heavyweight debut. The most common seem to be former champion Stipe Miocic and recent title challenger Ciryl Gane. There’s a name that may not be as popular of an option, but Chael Sonnen finds him to be the toughest test for Jones outside of champion Francis Ngannou. “I’ll tell you, the hardest fight, skill wise for Jon Jones, easily the hardest fight, it’s Curtis Blaydes,” Sonnen told Morning Kombat. Sonnen, who fought Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title in 2013, doesn’t understand why Blaydes is not as popular of a choice for Jones.
