The winner could very well be next in line to challenge Jon Jones for the 205-pound title. We here at LowKickMMA have compiled our UFC Rio Rancho staff predictions for the Anderson vs. Blachowicz main event. Check them out below.

UFC Rio Rancho Staff Predictions

Jon Fuentes:

The winner of this fight is likely next in line to challenge Jon Jones, and Corey Anderson has been on the hunt for “Bones” for quite some time. Anderson already has a win over Blachowicz, who could certainly end the fight with his power, but I expect Anderson to showcase more of his wrestling and ride this one out to a decision win. (Prediction: Corey Anderson)

Abhinav Kini:

Although Corey Anderson dominated Jan Blachowicz in their first meeting, and is on a four-fight winning streak, I feel the latter has improved much more since then. Especially based on his recent performances. I have to go with Blachowicz getting the finish within three rounds. (Prediction: Jan Blachowicz)

Jordan Ellis

I expect Corey Anderson to finally get the statement win that earns him a title shot. On paper, this is a pick-em fight but I give the edge to Anderson for a few reasons. His age, form, attitude and his previous win over Jan Blachowicz make him the favorite in my eyes. Although it won’t be easy and he’ll most likely need every minute of the five rounds to get this one done. (Prediction: Corey Anderson)

Jan Blachowicz: I Will Be The Guy To Take The Title From Jon Jones

Jan Blachowicz believes the stakes are high heading into his UFC Rio Rancho fight against Corey Anderson this weekend. The 36-year-old is confident in picking up the win, getting a title shot and dethroning long-time champion Jon Jones. Speaking to MMA Junkie at UFC on ESPN+ 25 media day, he said. “I think that I […]

“I
think that I know how to beat Jon Jones. I will find a way to beat him and I
will be this guy to take the title from him.”

For
Blachowicz this fight is bigger than just figuring out who the number one
contender is. On Saturday at the Santa Ana
Star Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico he has the chance to avenge a key career
loss against Anderson. The pair first met in 2015, with Anderson emerging an comfortable
winner over three rounds. However, the Polish fighter insists it’ll be much
different this time.

“I don’t
have jet lag (this time),” Blachowicz said. “My body is good because in our
first fight, after two minutes of the fight I was completely exhausted, but I
was able to go until the end of the fight, so it’s also some kind of substance
for me. But now I’m good. I came to Rio Rancho more than two weeks ago, no jet
lag. But this time it’s going to be a completely different fight. But I think
Corey is going to do the exact same. He’s going to try to use his boxing to
take me down and control me from the top.”

“I think
he doesn’t have respect for me,” Blachowicz said. “He beat me in an easy way in
our first fight, but after this fight he changed opinion about me. I’ll try to
teach him respect in the fight. … The best way for me would be to knock him
out, then I will be next for the title shot.”

Corey Anderson Happy To Get Chance To ‘Dethrone’ Jon Jones

Corey Anderson still believes he is the one who will eventually dethrone UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

Jones defended his title after a close unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 this past weekend. That was despite many believing Reyes had done enough to get the win.

Although Reyes put up an impressive performance, Anderson believes it was more of a case of Jones showing that he was in fact, beatable.

“I knew he was beatable,” Anderson told TMZ (via MMA Junkie). “I was the one that always said, ‘I know I can beat Jon, I know ways to beat him.’ I see the holes, I see what you got to do to beat him, and Dom went out there and did pretty much a lot of it. He went out there and did another blueprint of things that I had already seen, but I see so much more.”

Anderson was notably impressed with how Reyes performed. “The Devastator” seemingly did enough to win the first three stanzas in many observers’ eyes but faded in the championship rounds.

That won’t happen with “Overtime” who believes he has more tools than Reyes to trouble and eventually dethrone Jones:

“I got more in my tank, and I got more in my style in the way I fight that Dom doesn’t that I think is going to be a problem for him,” Anderson explained. “But at the end, I’m happy that Jon got the win because I get to be the one to dethrone him.”

However, Anderson needs to get past Jan Blachowicz first. The light heavyweight contenders battle in the main event of UFC Rio Rancho this weekend with the winner likely being next in line to face Jones:

“… I got to wait and see what happens this weekend,” Anderson added. “This is my championship fight. I got to go out there, do what Corey does and put on a dominant show. It’s five rounds, just like it’s a title fight.”
