Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz claimed fellow former division gold holder, Jon Jones “escaped” from a showdown with him with his heavyweight move last year – claiming he was in his fighting “prime” when the pair were on a collision course.
Blachowicz, a former undisputed light heavyweight title chaser, currently holds the number four rank in the division, remaining sidelined since he featured last July in a title-eliminator.
Dropping a decision defeat in split fashion to current 205 pound gold holder, Alex Pereira in Salt Lake City, Blachowicz recently underwent a surgical procedure to address a shoulder injury, ruling him from a UFC 297 rematch against Aleksandar Rakic, whom he holds a prior win over.
