Jan Blachowicz believes he should be the one to face UFC light-heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka next.<\/p>\n
The Poland-native is fresh off a stoppage victory over Aleksandar Rakic<\/a> in May. In the third round, the latter suffered a brutal leg injury. Thus, ending the contest, and giving Blachowicz his first win since losing his light-heavyweight crown in October 2021.<\/p>\n Just weeks after his win, the UFC light-heavyweight division got turned on its head. Then 205-pound champion Glover Teixeira lost his title to Jiri Prochazka in a ‘Fight of the Year’ contender. Prior to the title win, the latter stated he would likely fight Blachowicz if he secured the victory.<\/p>\n Following the contest, the newly crowned champion asked for a rematch with the Brazilian. Prochazka opined that he could do better in a second outing with Teixeira. However, there’s a light-heavyweight contender who’s not a fan of the rematch idea.<\/p>\n Jan Blachowicz took to Twitter<\/a> earlier today to call for a fight with Jiri Prochazka. There, the former UFC light-heavyweight champion noted that he’s not finished yet, and pleaded with Dana White for a title shot.<\/p>\n The 39-year-old promised that a fight with Jiri Prochazka would be the biggest in European MMA history. Blachowicz also alluded to the light-heavyweight champion’s promise to fight him previously<\/a>.<\/p>\n @danawhite<\/a> – no bullshit, no politics, no nonsense. <\/p>\n Give me Prochazka and I'll give you the biggest MMA fight in Europe's history. Unlike him I always keep my word.<\/p>\n — Jan Blachowicz (@JanBlachowicz) August 9, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
