“Reyes fought very well against Jones. He is very good, strong and a good striker. It will be a difficult fight for me, but I will be ready. I'll knock him out or submit him. Even so, I admit that he is an impressive fighter, one of the best today. I see this fight developing on the feet, but if I have the opportunity to take the takedown, I will do it. I'm not afraid to exchange with him and I'm sure the fans will enjoy watching, because, for sure, someone will fall. It will be Reyes, in the third round. I can see this ending”, said Blachowicz.
Regarding Jones, who released the category belt by moving up to heavyweight (120kg), the Pole informed that he is focused on Reyes, but added that he would love to face the former champion in the future.
“I'm happy that this fight will be for the belt. We deserved it and I don't think about Jones anymore. He doesn't exist for me now. I only think about Reyes. I think Jones will return to light heavyweight in the future. If not, I can go to heavyweight too, I have no problem facing him there”, he concluded.
After a troubled start in the UFC, with four defeats in the first six fights held, Jan Blachowicz turned around. Currently, the former KSW champion has won three consecutive fights and seven of the last eight he has competed in.
