Jon Jones Responds to Dominick Reyes, Teases Potential Jan Blachowicz Fight

The UFC has a couple interesting possibilities when it comes time to choose Jon Jones's next challenger. 

Recently, the current UFC light heavyweight champion and former title challenger Dominick Reyes engaged in a quarrel on social media. “The Devastator” started the beef after he claimed that the champion is avoiding him.

On Saturday morning, "Bones" took to Twitter to reply to those accusations. Jones reminded his opponent the outcome of their last encounter, then teased a future match with Jan Blachowicz (26-8).

“Now suddenly I’m afraid of a good dogfight? Pretty sure I walked him down for 25 minutes straight when we fought,” Jones wrote. “One thing about being the champion of the world, you got to search for fresh meat on every soil. I’m feeling like popping some [cherries] in Poland, haven’t had that yet.”

This is hardly the first time Jones has shown interest in a fight with Blachowicz. "Bones" appeared thrilled in the aftermath of the UFC Fight Night 167 main event, where Blachowicz detonated Corey Anderson via first-round knockout.

After his return to the Octagon in December 2018, Jones went on a four-bout winning streak. First, he overcame Alexander Gustafsson via KO at UFC 232 and Anthony Smith via unanimous decision at UFC 235. The defending champion had to break a sweat for his latest couple of fights, but he managed to edge Thiago Santos via split decision at UFC 239 before inflicting the first defeat in Dominick Reyes's career in the main event of UFC 247.

Blachowicz made a huge step forward in the light heavyweight division rankings after smashing Anderson back in February. Prior to that, the Polish fighter edged Ronaldo Souza via split decision at UFC Fight Night 164 and vanquished Luke Rockhold in the second stanza of their UFC 239 encounter.
