Jan Blachowicz challenges Daniel Cormier to comeback fight: ‘I’ll teach you some respect’
Jan Blachowicz Esther Lin, MMA Fighting If Jan Blachowicz can’t get his hands on Jon Jones, he has another former UFC champion in mind for a future title defense.
Blachowicz won the undisputed light heavyweight championship at UFC 253 this past Saturday with a second-round TKO of Dominick Reyes. The title had been vacated by Jones, and Blachowicz’s win made him the first man not named Jones or Daniel Cormier to hold the belt since March 2011.
Immediately after his win, Blachowicz called for a fight with Jones, who teased having a mutual interest despite making overtures towards the heavyweight division recently. On Tuesday, Blachowicz followed up that callout with one directed at Cormier.
