Cliffs:
- Jan believes he will successfully defend his belt in his UFC 266 showdown against #1 contender Glover Texeira.
- Should Jan successfully defend the LHW belt, he believes maybe Jiri could be next, but he needs to fight Rakic to determine who the #1 contender is.
- Jan states people forget about Ankalaev who he believes is in contention
- He concludes by saying the next contender could even come from one of the matchups booked near UFC 266; ostensibly he is referencing (Thiago Santos vs Johnny Walker) & (Anthony Smith vs Ryan Spann)
Summary (Making Sense of It):
It sounds as though the champ expects there to be a fight to determine the number one contender at the very least and is open to facing any of the guys listed above should they win their way into a fight with him.
A Rakic vs Prochazka fight appears to be the fight the champ believes is most likely to determine the #1 contender. But Jan also believes Ankalaev is very much in the contenders race and he could matchup with one of the guys listed above and that could be a potential number one contender bout.
The champ appears open to everything, but he wants these guys to fight their way into a title fight with him.
