Jon Jones teases of a return to light heavyweight following Jan Blachowicz’ TKO of Dominick Reyes at UFC 253.
Jon Jones may be having second thoughts about a move up to heavyweight, as the former two-time UFC light heavyweight champion has teased of a return to 205 pounds following Jan Blachowicz’ second-round TKO of Dominick Reyes in the UFC 253 co-main event on Saturday.
Blachowicz TKO’d Reyes to capture the vacant light heavyweight title and called out ‘Bones’ in his post-fight celebration.
“Jon Jones, where are you?” Blachowicz said after his win. “I’m here. This is how we do it in Poland. I’m waiting for you.”
Jones congratulated Blachowicz on his performance and asked the fans if they’d like to see him move back to light heavyweight to reclaim his title.

“Would you guys be annoyed if I went back and grabbed my belt real quick?” Jones posted in a follow-up tweet before responding to a fan who claims the JacksonWink product is scared of Blachowicz’ ‘Polish Power’.

“Lol yeah sure bud.”
UFC president Dana White stated that he wouldn’t deny Jones the opportunity to fight Blachowicz for the title, but Blachowicz is quickly losing interest in the matchup.
