Jan Blachowicz believes Jon Jones, the former UFC bantamweight champion, moved up to heavyweight to avoid fighting him.
"I'm a heavyweight now, so moving up to heavyweight is easy. I'd like to see Jones fight against (Tom) Aspinall, (Alex) Pereira and me. He escaped to heavyweight because I was in my prime when he left [the welterweight division]. He knew if he met me, he was going to lose. It was his best decision to move up to heavyweight. He promised me that fight, so that's what I'm hoping for - maybe someday. Maybe not in the gym, but somewhere in my backyard," Blachowicz told Fanatics View.
Former bantamweight champion Jan Blachowicz has once again talked about wanting a rematch with current titleholder Alex Pereira, to whom he lost by a controversial split judges' decision last July.
"He's not a better fighter than me and I think I deserve a rematch. When he fights against me, I will still think I will win that fight.
The judges give different scores, but I believe I won the first fight against him and I believe I deserve a rematch. He knocked everyone out - not me. When I come back, I believe I can fight him again," Fanatics View quoted Blachowicz as saying.
