Jan Blachowicz feels he is due for a title shot after his first-round knockout win over Corey Anderson at UFC Rio Rancho. Heading into UFC Rio Rancho, Jan Blachowicz was looking to avenge his loss to Corey Anderson. The number six-ranked light heavyweight contender did so successfully with a first-round knockout that also earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.

Watching among the New Mexico crowd was 205-pound king Jon Jones, whom Blachowicz immediately ran towards after his win.

In his post-fight Octagon interview with former champion Daniel Cormier, Blachowicz made his intentions clear.

They were wrong about me. I proved that I m one of the best in the world, Blachowicz said on the mic. I took the rematch, thank you Corey for the rematch. And I proved that I m the next contender for the title shot. Let s talk about my next opponent, Jon Jones.

You promised me that in the show, when I met you, he said, directing his attention to Jones. Let s do this. Tell me when, give me the place and time.

While Jones does have the option to face Blachowicz next, a rematch against Dominick Reyes is also on the table. The champ himself says he is open to running it back after his controversial unanimous decision win at UFC 247.
