Jan Blachowicz calls for fight with UFC star Kamaru Usman: ‘If you still feel the same, let’s do it’

Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz has called for a fight with former welterweight titleholder, Kamaru Usman – claiming if the Auchi native still believes he can defeat him following their face-off years ago, they can still share the Octagon.

Blachowicz, a former undisputed light heavyweight titleholder and the current number four ranked divisional contender, has been sidelined since he featured at UFC 291 back in July, suffering a close, split decision defeat to Alex Pereira in the pair’s title-eliminator clash.
