Curtis Blaydes expects UFC to book undisputed heavyweight title fight without Jon Jones
Curtis Blaydes expects UFC to book undisputed heavyweight title fight without Jon Jones Curtis Blaydes doubts Tom Aspinall will get his UFC title fight against Jon Jones. Despite heavyweight champion Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) refusing to commit to a title-unification bout with Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), UFC CEO Dana White revealed last week that Jones agreed to fight Aspinall, but the paperwork is yet to be signed. Perennial contender Blaydes (18-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) isn't buying the talk and thinks Aspinall will end up fighting Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) next. "I do believe that'll probably go to Gane because I don't think Jon's ever going to fight Aspinall," Blaydes told Inside Fighting. Jones said in an interview on "Deepcut with VicBlends" that, "If I were to ever lose, I would be devastated. I would be angry, I'd be upset and depressed." Blaydes doesn't want to follow the narrative that Jones is ducking Aspinall but thinks the all-time great might not be willing to risk his legacy. "I'm not going to be disrespectful and say he's scared. He can't be scared," Blaydes said. "If he was honest with himself, he hasn't beat a real prime heavyweight. You beat Ciryl Gane, he's got obvious holes in the grappling, and you beat an old Stipe (Miocic), who was rusty, and who did have you. "There were moments in that fight where a younger Stipe maybe takes advantage of those. If Jon were to beat Tom, we would all be like, 'OK, he legitimately is the GOAT, he legitimately won the heavyweight title.' I think it would help him – even if he lost, bro, we get it, you're old, you're not a real heavyweight. We get it. You can lose. It's OK.'"

It's been a wild week in the world of MMA, and it began this past weekend prior to the scheduled UFC Vegas 107 main event between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber, when the latter was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to a health emergency — and that was the beginning of the road to UFC 316 fight week. Advertisement On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to the fallout of this past Saturday's headliner getting scratched, both fighters' comments since, and if it could be a massive fight for the UFC in the future. Additionally, they'll discuss Tom Aspinall publicly saying he's the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion and wishing Jon Jones the best in his 'retirement,' if the fight is officially off of life support and gone altogether, UFC 316 as a whole, if the card is good, Merab Dvalishvili vs. Sean O'Malley 2, Julianna Pena vs. Kayla Harrison and the rivalry growing by the day, and much more. Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and multi-promotional commentator Ben 'The Bane' Davis. Watch the show live at a special start time of 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT in the video above.

What time is Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick? Walkouts for UFC on ESPN 69 co-main event
What time is Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick? Walkouts for UFC on ESPN 69 co-main event Friends will fight in the octagon when Rose Namajunas takes on Miranda Maverick. This UFC women's flyweight bout scheduled for three rounds is taking place Saturday, June 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Namajunas (13-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) and Maverick (15-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) have been friends and former training partners in Colorado, so their level of familiarity with each other should be high. Namajunas, 32, a former UFC strawweight champion, has experienced mixed results since moving up to 125 pounds in 2023. She's 2-2 in the division, with wins over Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez. Namajunas lost her division debut to Manon Fiorot and most recently dropped a unanimous decision to Erin Blanchfield last November. Maverick, 27, will enter on a roll, having won four fights in a row since July 2023. A win over Namajunas would undoubtedly be the biggest win of her career. Here are the walkout times for the UFC on ESPN 69 co-main event between Namajunas and Maverick. When does the UFC on ESPN 69 fight card start? The UFC on ESPN 69 lineup consists of 13 fights. Prelims start at 7 p.m. ET and the main card at 10 p.m. ET. Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick walkout time As the co-main event, Namajunas and Maverick are expected to make their walks to the octagon at approximately midnight ET. The fight airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+.
