UFC Rio Rancho predictions

Fans might not be clamoring for it, but after UFC Rio Rancho it could be Corey Anderson or Jan Blachowicz that is next to face Jon Jones.

Anderson has been hunting Jones for sometime, confronting him both publicly and on social media and stringing together a series of wins in a competitive light heavyweight division. Blachowicz was on his way to a title shot before having that taken away by Thiago Santos, and now he hopes to do the same to Anderson in their rematch Saturday.

The first meeting back in September 2015 was all Anderson and if he puts on a repeat performance, he may give Jones a reason to stay at 205 pounds; that, or Blachowicz puts himself into position to celebrate his 13th year of competition with his first UFC title shot.
