After taking out Corey Anderson at UFC Rio Rancho, Jan Blachowicz has made it clear he wants to fight for the light-heavyweight title next. So much so, the veteran contender says he’ll wait out until he gets a title shot.

Blachowicz knocked Anderson out in the first round of Saturday’s headliner, and in doing so, he extended his winning streak to three. Anderson was ranked #5 heading into the contest and had won four straight.

Following his big win, Blachowicz, the Polish fighter said this (quote via MMA Junkie):

“I believe I’m the next contender for the title shot, and I don’t want a different fight,” Blachowicz said. “Only title shot. I will wait. I have a lot of things to do, so I will not be boring, I can wait. … I do this all my life, and I wait for this so long. I am ready. I proved that I deserve the title shot, and I will do this, and I will take the belt to Poland.”

The champion Jon Jones is coming off a decision win over Dominick Reyes last weekend at UFC 247. But, since the fight was widely considered to be controversial, calls for a rematch have been made.
