At the press conference for UFC 291, former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz made some remarks that will have gamers grinning. His statements even managed to get a response from the official Twitter handle of The Witcher. The Polish MMA fighter was caught off-guard by a reporter who seemed curious about Blachowicz’s views on gaming.

Jan’s response made all the people present at the press conference smile as he revealed his passion for RPG titles, including Skyrim. Blachowicz is set to face off against Alex Pereira at UFC 291. This may well be one of the most important bouts of Blachowicz’s career, with Pereira posing as a formidable opponent. In such a tense backdrop a reporter can’t be blamed for trying to lighten the mood a little.

Blachowicz couldn’t pick his favorite among three popular RPG titles

At the press conference, a reporter pointed out that Blachowicz was recently caught flaunting a Samurai t-shirt from Cyberpunk 2077. The reporter seemed curious to know the lightweight champ’s take on the RPG title from CD Projekt Red. Blachowicz couldn’t stop from breaking into a wide grin as he said he likes the game quite a lot, but not as much as The Witcher.

The reporter wanted him to pick a favorite but Blachowicz seemed a tad uncomfortable about picking favorite among the two. The reporter also refused to back off without something tangible and threw another set of options to the MMA fighter.

Blachowicz now faced the dilemma of picking a favorite between Skyrim and Cyberpunk. His inability to make the choice became apparent as Blachowicz tried to laugh it off. He said all three games are top-class and picking just one favorite is pretty difficult for him personally.

All three of Blachowicz’s favorites have become iconic titles in the industry

CD Projekt Red has become an almost legendary studio thanks to titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher franchise. While at launch, Cyberpunk failed to make a good impression among the fans, the new Phantom Liberty DLC expansion has players wooed. Cyberpunk 2077: Liberty City is being hailed as essentially a whole new game with multiple new features and upgrades from the original release.

On the other hand, The Witcher has recently seen extra attention from the community thanks to Netflix putting out a pretty solid live-adaptation series with Henry Cavill playing the role of Geralt of Rivia. Alongside these two relatively newer titles, Skyrim is still one of the most-played games by RPG fans around the world because of its expansive map. Players still unexpectedly stumble upon hidden artifacts every now and then as they look for the last monsters to slay.

Given such a set of options, which would you choose as your go-to game and why?
