Light heavyweight GOAT Jon Jones has moved up to test himself at heavyweight, and new division champion Jan Blachowicz next fights middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who is also moving up to test himself, first at 205, and then vs. Jones at heavyweight. During a recent interview with John Hyon Ko for SCMP, “Prince of Cieszyn” revealed he has visions of his own.

I don’t focus on [Adesanya], I focus on me, said Blachowicz. I don’t focus on him and his hype and stuff like this. I focus on my shape, about my cardio, about my strengths. I’m focused on everything around me, not around him. He’s just another opponent and I just have to beat him. And this is one thing I have in my head right now, nothing else.

We see his holes. Where we can put our fists on his face. We know that he is a really good stand-up fighter, really good striking, really good footwork. And he has his own style but we are ready for that. Maybe [past opponents] were afraid of him. I am not. Maybe they don’t fight the way how to beat him. I’m going to be the first one. And after our fight, he will be 20-1.

I see KO in the second round. Left high kick on his head. This is what I see. I believe in my style, I believe in my power, I believe that I can beat him and I will. And I promise you he is gonna feel ‘The Legendary Polish Power’.

So we have a left kick cemetery prediction for the main event of UFC 259 on March 6, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Blachowicz has won any number of ways in his 14 year, 35 fight MMA career, but never by left kick to the head. He does have years of competitive experience under Muay Thai rules in Europe, so, UG, how do you predict the fight ends?
