Morning Report: Jan Blachowicz says Jon Jones moved to heavyweight ‘to escape from the Legendary Polish Power’

Last month, Jan Blachowicz became the thirteenth man in history to hold the UFC light heavyweight title when he knocked out Dominick Reyes at UFC 253. Immediately after his career-defining victory, Blachowicz called out the former champion Jon Jones. The two were tentatively linked to fight earlier this year, after Blachowicz knocked out Corey Anderson and Jones said he was deserving of the next shot at the light heavyweight title. Instead though, Jones ultimately ended up vacating his light heavyweight title, opening the door for Blachowicz’s title win.
