Jan Blachowicz is receiving a lot of love from the UFC’s first Polish champion.
Following Blachowicz claiming the light heavyweight title with a second-round TKO of Dominick Reyes in Saturday’s UFC 253 co-main event, former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk recorded an ecstatic message of celebration for her countryman.
“F*ck yeah, the new champ, ladies and gentleman!” Jedrzejczyk exclaimed. “F**king Jan Blachowicz! Yeah! Legend. Legend.”
Blachowicz is now just the third man in the past nine years to hold the UFC’s 205-pound title. The other two are Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones, the latter of whom vacated the belt in August during a public pay dispute with the UFC and the possibility of a move up to heavyweight.
