Two UFC light heavyweight veterans will meet in New Mexico for a potential shot at Jon Jones.
MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin confirmed with sources that Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz are in talks to headline UFC Rio Rancho on Feb. 15. This will be a rematch of their Sept. 5, 2015 encounter at UFC 191 that Anderson won by unanimous decision.
This will be a key matchup for the top-10 contenders who have both made a case for a future shot at light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
Anderson (13-4) is riding a four-fight win streak, which includes a first-round TKO of Johnny Walker and a unanimous decision win over one-time title challenger Glover Teixeira.
