Jan Blachowicz: Glover Teixeira ‘will be upset’ when UFC gives me title shot over him

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz wants his belt back.

The Pole — famous for his ‘legendary Polish power’ — lost the title to Glover Teixeira last year but has since surged back into title contention with a stoppage victory over Austria’s Aleksandar Rakic at UFC on ESPN 36.

Blachowicz believes the UFC will give him the next title shot over Teixeira, who is no longer champion after being submitted by Jiri Prochazka in a Fight of the Year candidate this past June.

“Of course, I will,” Blachowciz told The Schmo when asked if he would be upset if the UFC decided to book an immediate rematch between Prochazka and Teixeira (h/t Sportskeeda).
