Newly-crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka would love to defend his title against Jan Blachowicz following his stunning fifth-round submission of Glover Teixeira at UFC 275.
Prochazka doesn’t want Teixeira to feel disrespected by his comments following their Fight of the Year candidate in Singapore but feels Blachowicz is “the most dangerous” challenger in the division right now and would make for a really exciting matchup.
“I think the most dangerous man here in the light heavyweight division, after me, under me, there is Jan Blachowicz — and I think he can be the next challenger of me,” Prochazka told Ariel Helwani during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour (h/t MMA Fighting).
