Jon Jones barely held onto his UFC light heavyweight title earlier this month, taking a split decision over the very hobbled Thiago Santos at UFC 239. With Santos shelved for well into 2020 following knee surgery, someone else presumably has to step up to the place to face Jones for his next defense.
Corey Anderson has been hounding Jones, but Dana White has seemingly shut that down. Another contender throwing his name into the hat is Jan Blachowicz, the Polish veteran who is coming off a spectacular KO of former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold.
