I am the next in line, and nobody can get in line in front of me. They can just fight to see who\u2019s going to be fighting me next, when I\u2019m defending the belt (or) if anything happens and they take the belt from Jon [Jones].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Blachowicz suggests, there&#8217;s a chance the UFC may move to strip the title from the reigning light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Jones was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/report-jon-jones-arrested-for-dwi-negligent-use-of-a-firearm\/\">recently arrested<\/a> for a driving while impaired, and while he avoided jail time, the UFC may elect to remove him from the throne.<\/p>\n<p>Blachowicz says he&#8217;s happy to fight for the vacant title or an interim belt in that event, and imagines he&#8217;d most likely be paired up with Reyes, who recently lost a razor close decision to Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I would prefer to fight him next for the belt, but fighting for the belt itself is the most important thing,\u201d he said. \u201cIf they take away the belt (from Jones), or if the UFC decides to make an interim belt, I think in that situation I\u2019d be fighting Reyes next, and then the rematch with Thiago Santos. Of course, that\u2019s only if Jones is out of the championship race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who do you want to see Jan Blachowicz fight next?
