Jan Blachowicz responds to Jon Jones
According to Jones, he walked down Reyes throughout the fight. He believes that a new challenger deserves a title shot more than the ‘Devastator.’ And that new contender might be Jan Blachowicz.
Now suddenly I’m afraid of a good dogfight? Pretty sure I walked him down for 25 minutes straight when we fought. One thing about being the champion of the world, you got to search for fresh meat on every soil. I’m feeling like popping some 🍒 in Poland, haven’t had that yet. pic.twitter.com/frnLyFUkN1

Jan Blachowicz is ranked #4 in the light heavyweight division. He has amassed victories over the likes of Luke Rockhold, Jacare Souza, and Corey Anderson. With a 3 fight win streak, the Polish fighter makes a solid case for a title shot. Here’s Blachowicz’s response to Jones’ tweet.
So, it’s a date. Can’t wait to fist you. 👊 https://t.co/HhwCFKPa9X

Jones fires back
In a hilarious reply, Jones tweeted:
first of all it would be a fight, not a date and you’re not going to be fisting anyone. What a strange guy you are Jan https://t.co/GnvJr0m3aI

Based on their exchanges, it is clear that Jones wants to fight Blachowicz next. It would be interesting to see Bones fight Jan, as Jones’ last 2 wins were controversial. Whereas, Jan is coming off an impressive knockout of Corey Anderson.
Also, with his recent troubles, we don’t know which version of Jon Jones will show up. A tiny mistake by Jones can be fatal, as Blachowicz possesses the ability to knock anyone out. All things aside, the fight will be a good scrap.
Do you think Jan Blachowicz vs Jon Jones is next?
