At this point in his career, Curtis Blaydes knows there are certain things that just don't make sense to give even one bit of his energy.
Ahead of his UFC on ESPN 33 headliner with Chris Daukaus in Ohio, Blaydes says the UFC's heavyweight rankings, where he currently sits at No. 4, fit that description. Sure, UFC president Dana White has recently hinted that the promotion might be leaning toward instituting an interim title with reigning champion Francis Ngannou on the mend, but Blaydes knows there's no sense in considering what comes next if it causes him to lose focus on the task at hand.
