Jan Blachowicz still interested in Jon Jones showdown: "I will knock him out"

Josh Evanoff - June 13, 2022

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz is interested in fighting Jon Jones. After Jan Blachowicz knocked out Corey Anderson in February 2020, his first thought was to call out Jon Jones, who was cage side. It seemed like that fight was likely in the pipeline, given ‘Bones’ seeming open to the fight. Instead, the bout never happened, as the champion decided to move up in weight.

Dominick Reyes claims he's the reason Jon Jones moved up to heavyweight

Cole Shelton - June 13, 2022

Dominick Reyes believes nearly beating Jon Jones at UFC 247 is the reason ‘Bones’ is moving up to heavyweight. Jones edged out a decision over Reyes in a fight that many thought the challenger should’ve won. Yet, the judges gave it to ‘Bones’ and since that fight, he has not fought and is bulking up for a heavyweight move. According to Reyes, there were talks of booking an immediate rematch but Jones backed out and instead wanted to go to heavyweight.
