“I just want to get him down again. The difference between me and him is that, when I lose a fight, I don't give up. He lost and gave up. Maybe the pressure was too much for him, and he went somewhere else, the minor league, and now he's talking or 'barking'. I do not understand this. Why didn't he stay in the UFC? He can renegotiate everything at this point. Money and stuff. He was a coward. That's why he's doing this. Now, he's safe there, because I'm not in Bellator. That's why he started barking”, said Blachowicz, in an interview with 'The MMA Hour'.

Ultimate light heavyweight champion since the end of 2020, Blachowicz shared the octagon with Anderson at the beginning of last season. In the duel, the Pole took no notice of his rival, winning the fight with a knockout in the first round. The resounding victory would entitle Jan to compete for the vacant group title against Dominick reyes In September.

If the triumph over Corey represented a milestone in the Pole's career, the same can be said for the North American. Hardly beaten by Blachowicz in 2020, the stumble ended up marking the Ultimate athlete's farewell. Months later, the fighter would confirm his transfer to Bellator.

A bet from the Ultimate competitor, Anderson has done well in the organization. Inserted in the organization's million-dollar tournament, acting in the light heavyweight division, the fighter recorded three knockout victories in a row and managed to reach the final, when he will face the dangerous champion, Vadim nemkov.
