Blachowicz x Jones: A titanic clash
Jan Blachowicz is keen to secure a bout with Jon Jones as the two were supposed to face off in the past. However, Jones vacated the belt that Blachowicz eventually picked up and he moved on to heavyweight. ‘Bones’ Jones has still not secured a fight at heavyweight, thus leaving the door open to potentially take on Blachowicz.
“Of course, I can beat him at heavyweight,” Blachowicz said on Mike Swick’s podcast when asked if he’d be open to a heavyweight fight with Jones. “We can do this extra fight — not for the [heavyweight] title if he wants — no problem for me. I am going to be ready.”
