Ready for his second defense of the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg), Jan Blachowicz projects a long reign in the category. The Pole assured that he is focused on the duel with Glover Teixeira, UFC 267, but admitted that he envisions a duel against Jiri Prochazka, chosen by the organization as a 'reserve' for the main fight this Saturday (30). The statement was given in an interview with 'MMA fighting'.

First of all, I have to beat Glover. The focus is on him. I hope nothing changes. When I beat Glover, maybe my next opponent will be Prochazka and this fight doesn't have to be in Abu Dhabi, or in the United States, but in Europe. If this fight happens, I hope it will be in Poland, at the national stadium, 60 thousand people will come to watch this fight. He has a strange, crazy style that is good to watch. This will be a good fight. Maybe, in the future, we will see”, said Jan.

In a surprising turnaround in his career, Blachowicz won five consecutive victories and is now the UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg). At 38 years old, the veteran has a record of 28 triumphs and eight setbacks in professional MMA.
