Earlier this year, Jon Jones vacated his UFC light heavyweight title, stating his intention to finally move up to the heavyweight division. In the aftermath, Jan Blachowicz knocked out Dominick Reyes to become the new champion and now, it appears that Blachowicz will get the fight that Jones never did: a superfight with middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
Jones and Adesanya have been publicly feuding for the last two years, with Adesanya stating that he intended to face Jones in 2021, after first doing his duty as middleweight champion and defeating the top contenders.
