Former Ultimate Fighting Championship 205-pound titleholder Jan Blachowicz would like to test himself with fellow former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka someday.
2022 ended on a bitter-sweet note for Blachowicz (29-9-1, 12-6-1 UFC), who fell short of capturing the vacant championship after fighting to a split draw with Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 282. The Blachowicz-Ankalaev matchup came to fruition after Prochazka — who was scheduled to face Glover Teixeira on that occasion — was forced to vacate the belt after suffering a shoulder injury. Blachowicz was often vocal about facing Prochazka in an all-timer European clash among former champions. For now, the Polish fighter has to wait for “Denisa” to recover from the injury before having the chance to face him inside the Octagon.
