Mal took over the light heavyweight (93kg) throne and Jan Blachowicz already has a target on its back. After knocking out Dominick reyes, UFC 253, the category champion was challenged by the Brazilians Thiago Marreta, Glover Teixeira, by former number one, Jon Jones, and the newest athlete to mention his name was Israel adesanya.

And everything indicates that the Pole was happy to know that. In an interview with the North American website Submission Radio, Blachowicz does not rule out holding a super fight against the middleweight champion (83,9kg) and, if the clash happens, he promised to do the same with the Nigerian as he did against Luke Rockhold. Furthermore, 'Prince of Cieszyn' provoked by saying that Adesanya is not the best light heavyweight even in the video game.

“Adesanya can try to move up, but he will return to middleweight quickly. When he finds me, he will meet the same end as Rockhold. Everyone thinks they know me, that I'm an easy opponent, but, in the octagon, everything changes when they feel my power. I'm a completely different fighter. They have never fought against someone like me and they feel it firsthand. Adesanya is only the best light heavyweight if he chooses my puppet in the UFC game. In real life? No way!” Blachowicz replied.

The positioning of Jan Blachowicz happened after Israel adesanya consider himself the best light heavyweight and express his desire to debut in the category soon. The Pole remembered Luke Rockhold, because the former middleweight champion made his debut in the top division against him, provoked and underestimated him at the weigh-in and, in the octagon, ended up being knocked out in the second round.
