As Blachowicz is all set to face Glover Teixeira this September, many fans thought that the Pole might ditch Teixeira for a fight against Prochazka. However, Blachowicz immediately cleared up any misunderstanding that may have emerged from his tweet and explained the reason he sent it out.
“For all those who do not know the Slavic context of the previous post and its humorous nature. Of course, Glover is the next contender. I always keep my word.”
