“When I'm in the final phase of my career, I'll fight at heavyweight. I like to eat, but I don't like losing weight. I would like to try to fight bigger fighters. If the UFC asks me if I want to fight Ngannou, why not?” said Blachowicz in an interview with 'RT Sports'.

In addition to suggesting a change to heavyweight in the future, the Pole also made a point of praising the French-Cameroonian. Respectfully, he says he values ​​the 'knockout power' of his potential opponent, but believes he can beat him.

“I have no problem turning down fights like this. He has incredible power, like the Predator, but no one has legendary Polish power”, concluded the Pole.

At 38, Jan Blachowicz reigns in the light heavyweight division and must face Glover Teixeira in your next fight. Now, he has a record of 28 wins and eight losses in his career. Already Francis Ngannou can face Jon Jones in his first heavyweight belt defense. Currently, the fighter has 16 triumphs and three setbacks.
