Jan Blachowicz got creative in his latest attempt to goad Jon Jones into a fight.

The Polish light heavyweight contender posted a mocked-up meme referencing Jack Nicholson’s famous “Here’s Johnny!” moment from The Shining.

“Here’s Jan,” he wrote in a tweet, alongside a picture of himself imitating the famous axe scene from Stanley Kubrick’s legendary film.

“First you try to hide in jail, then you want to change a weight class,” Blachowicz added. “You are really doing everything you can to avoid your destiny but there is no place to hide Jonny.”

Blachowicz is in the conversation to challenge for Jones’ light heavyweight title next, after a spectacular knockout of Corey Anderson earlier this year.
