Jan Blachowicz
Wants to fight: [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag]
The callout: “They were wrong about me. I proved I was one of the best in the world. Let’s talk about my next opponent, Jon Jones. He’s here.
“You promised me that in the show when I meet you. You are next. Let’s do this. Tell me when. Give me the place and time.”
The reality: There’s absolutely no denying it. [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] has proved his worth as a top contender after hitting form with three straight victories. Many thought Jones would have faced Corey Anderson had “Overtime” picked up the win in Rio Rancho, so Blachowicz’s stunning first-round finish means his case is an undeniable one.
It might not appease those who demand that Jones faces Dominick Reyes in a rematch, or moves up to face Stipe Miocic at heavyweight. But if Team Jones fancies a fresh challenge for their man before revisiting Reyes or stepping up to heavyweight, Blachowicz is clearly the man at the front of the queue. He might not be the fans’ No. 1 pick, but he might be Jones’ choice.
