UFC light heavyweight contender Jan Blachowicz is disappointed with Jiri Prochazka.<\/p>\n
‘Denisa’ is fresh off a victory over Glover Teixeira at UFC 275 last month in Singapore. The exciting back and forth fight is seen as a fight of the year contender. The win saw Prochazka claim the UFC’s light heavyweight championship in the progress.<\/p>\n
Following the victory, the conversation immediately shifted to what was next for the new champion. For his part, the Brazilian campaigned for a rematch against Prochazka. Contenders Anthony Smith and Magomed Ankalev also sought the opportunity.<\/p>\n
However, few names were as loud as Jan Blachowicz<\/a>. The 39-year-old last defeated Aleksander Rakic in May. The Polish contender believes the victory should’ve been enough to earn the title shot.<\/p>\n Instead, Jiri Prochazka doesn’t want to fight him next. Earlier today<\/a>, the UFC light heavyweight champion stated he wants the rematch with Glover Teixeira next. On social media, Prochazka stated:<\/p>\n \u201cHello everybody. I wish you a great day. And I may decide for next fight. And I want to fight Glover the next fight. Not because it will be another big fight but just one reason, my performance was bad in first fight. I will show you why I\u2019m the champion. Clearly, decisively and I think Glover deserve it.”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSo here\u2019s the offer. I will show you why I\u2019m the champion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Now, Jan Blachowicz has responded to Jiri Prochazka on social media<\/a>. It’s safe to say that the former UFC light heavyweight champion isn’t impressed with the rematch. Blachowicz referenced Prochazka previously stating that he was his biggest future challenge.<\/p>\n "Jan is for me the biggest challenge" – your words. — Jan Blachowicz (@JanBlachowicz) July 11, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
Respect you Champ, but the samurai code was not upheld.<\/p>\n
