Even the UFC says that they don\u2019t talk with him about his next fight. So, nobody knows what he\u2019s doing. But, I believe that I will catch him later in heavyweight. I think two more years at 205 and then I will go to heavyweight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blachowicz believes it&#8217;s also possible he&#8217;ll meet Jones in the light heavyweight division in the future\u2014or even on the mats at the former champion&#8217;s training home of JacksonWink MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico. That being said, he suspects Jones will need some convincing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He does everything to not fight against me,&#8221; Blachowicz said, accusing Jones of ducking him. &#8220;So, what can I do? He promised me this fight after [I beat] Corey Anderson, and after couple of months he went to heavyweight. What the f**k?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFirst of all, I have to win against Glover or Israel, and after this fight we can talk about Jon Jones,&#8221; Blachowicz concluded. &#8220;I don\u2019t care. I believe I catch him in the future somewhere, at 205 or in heavyweight. Or maybe I\u2019ll go to Albuquerque and go to his gym and we do sparring on the mat. But I believe that I have to fight against him somewhere, just for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think we&#8217;ll see Jan Blachowicz and Jon Jones fight in the future?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz has laid out plans for a move up to the heavyweight division and a fight with Jon Jones.
