With his last defeat coming back in July 2018, many believe he&#8217;s now a viable contender for a shot at the belt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With Jones seemingly walking away from the title for the time being, Teixeira noted during a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2020\/06\/ufc-glover-teixeira-wants-fight-jan-blachowicz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MMA Junkie<\/a> that he wants to square off with Jan Blachowicz for the right to be called champion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIn my opinion, I\u2019m looking forward to fighting for the title,\u201d Teixeira said. \u201cI want to fight Jan Blachowicz because we\u2019re both coming from \u2013 I mean, I come from four wins in a row, I believe he coming from four, five wins in a row something like that and who am I to say who\u2019s going to fight next?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When asked about the possibility of Thiago Santos or Dominick Reyes getting a rematch for the belt, he had the following to say.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThose guys had their chance,\u201d Teixeira said. \u201cThey went in there, they fought for the title and they lost and they gotta come back and we fight to get back in there again. You don\u2019t get rematches for a title unless you\u2019re the champion.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think me and Blachowicz, we should fight and those guys have to fight to get wins, maybe Thiago and Reyes have to fight to see who\u2019s gonna win and who\u2019s gonna fight for the title next,&#8221; Teixeira added.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With Glover Teixeira and Jan Blachowicz both looking like absolute killers in their respective last outings, this is a fight that could make a whole lot of sense at the top of the division. Whether or not Dana White agrees, though, is yet to be determined.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC veteran Glover Teixeira has explained why he believes he should fight Jan Blachowicz for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.
