Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Ablin reported that he did not rule out a move to a heavier division.

“The most logical option right now would be to fight Aaron Jeffery. He beat my friends Austin Vanderford and Dalton Rosta, and I haven’t crossed paths with him yet, which can’t be said about other title contenders. So I'll happily beat him and collect my check.

But if this fight doesn’t work out, there is an option to fight for the light heavyweight belt. I've been thinking about this for a long time. This will help me make a name. The greatest MMA fighters don’t stagnate in one place, they rise to other divisions and prove that they deserve to be in the P4P rankings,” MMA Fighting quotes Eblin.

Let us remember that on September 23 at Bellator 299, Ablin defended his belt for the third time, knocking out Fabian Edwards.
