Courage or challenge? Yan Blakhovych does not want to wait
Jan Blachowicz, former UFC light heavyweight champion, has made a bold statement expressing his displeasure that Jon Jones, one of the most famous fighters in mixed martial arts history, is avoiding him in octagons Blachowicz believes that Jones' move to heavyweight was an avoidance of fighting him when he was in his prime.
"I gained weight - it won't be difficult for me to move up to the next division. I want Jones to fight Tom Aspinall, Alex Pereira and me. He ran away to heavyweight because then I was in my prime," said the Pole in an interview Fanatics View.
Time and place? Blakhovych is ready for battle
The 41-year-old Pole has 29 wins, 10 losses and 1 draw. His experience and confidence could be crucial in a potential showdown with Jones. Blakhovych is ready to meet his opponent not only in the gym, but also outside it, if it is necessary to organize a fight.
"He understood that he would lose to me. I think it was his best decision. He promised to meet me - I hope it will happen someday. If not in the hall, then in the backyard," he continued.
