Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is set to face Jan Blachowicz. ‘The Last Stylebender’ put on a fantastic display in his last outing when he dismantled unbeaten Paulo Costa in two rounds at UFC 253. Following the fight, Adesanya said he wanted the winner of Robert Whittaker vs Jared Cannonier.
However, Dana White stated that ‘The Reaper’ was not interested in fighting for the title. Hence the UFC allowed ‘The Last Stylebender’ to move up and fight the newly crowned Jan Blachowicz. The move has been met with equal amounts of criticism and support from the MMA community.

Prochazka continued, “If somebody is the champ, I think he can fight with another champ. That’s the simple rule so I understand that. And I am looking forward for [having] him in our division.”
The former Rizin champion made a stellar UFC debut last year. He knocked out former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir in the second round of their fight, to announce his arrival.
His second test in the UFC will perhaps be his biggest to date. ‘Denisa‘ will take on former two-time title challenger Dominick Reyes who just fought for the title against Jan Blachowicz last year.

The light heavyweight division is buzzing with exciting young talent at the moment and if ‘Stylebender’ was to secure a win and stay at light heavyweight there are a lot of potentially interesting fights awaiting him.
