Referring to the Light Heavyweight weighing, Jan Blachowicz – Poland's puncher is currently the current 205 pound champion after winning the belt from Dominick Reyes and defends the title of successfully in front of the Middleweight Israeli Adesanya Champion.
In September, Blachowicz is facing a challenge from the veteran Brazilian puncher – Glover Teixeira in an attempt to defend his championship. Besides Blachowicz, there are 2 punchers who are clinging to him closely in the effort of Light Heavyweight belt, Jiri Prochazka and Aleksandar Rakic.
Prochazka's performances have made supporters and some MMA media propose the name Prochazka for the Belt match with Blachowicz. UFC may agree, because Prochazka is arranged as the reserve name for the belt match between Blachowicz and Teixeira.
But Jan Blachowicz said that Prochazka was not enough to confront him in a stretching and Prochazka match, so he fought against Aleksandar Rakic before fighting the Light Heavyweight weighing belt.
“I firmly believe that I will beat Glover and successfully defend the title of the championship again. After that, I may think about fighting Jiri. I think Jiri Prochazka does not deserve Light Heavyweight, he should fight with Aleksandar Rakic before thinking about the stretching.” – Blachowicz interviewed with James Lynch.
Jiri Prochazka is a Czech boxer, former Champion of Rizin FF's Light Heavyweight weight, has only played 2 matches since the launch of UFC in 2020. However, Prochazka has impressed with two spectacular ending names with cheeks like Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes.
