Chael Sonnen believes Curtis Blaydes is the hardest stylistic matchup for Jon Jones.
Despite public calls for a fight with Tom Aspinall, Jones relinquished his UFC heavyweight title.
Sonnen said Blaydes’ wrestling credentials mirror Jones’, making him a unique challenge.
Jones excels with reach, wrestling, and striking, but Blaydes matches him closely in wrestling skill.
Sonnen highlighted that matchmakers should not overlook a potential Jones vs. Blaydes showdown.
Having fought Jones, Sonnen praised him as an exceptional competitor under the lights.
He also revealed Jones displayed unusual behaviors leading up to their fight, which surprised him.
