Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz has suggested that Jon Jones didn’t want to fight him, leading to his move up to heavyweight.
Once upon a time, Jon Jones was still a big factor in the light heavyweight division. In the wake of his big win over Dominick Reyes, which many still dispute to this day, he teased the idea of a title fight against Jan Blachowicz after the master of Polish Power knocked out Corey Anderson just one week after Jones’ controversial decision triumph over Reyes.
Alas, Jon Jones would then be gone from mixed martial arts for a couple of years, insisting that he needed the time to build up his body in preparation for a heavyweight move.
