Jan Blachowicz eagerly accepted the opportunity to fight Alex Pereira after learning about his move to the light heavyweight division. Blachowicz expressed his desire for the matchup and stated that he is happy to face Pereira in his own division.

Blachowicz, who has experience with fighters transitioning to light heavyweight, believes that Pereira’s power may not translate as effectively in the new weight class. He emphasized that fighting in a different division presents new challenges and that he has been successful against opponents from lower-weight classes in the past.

The UFC not only welcomed the idea of the fight but also offered Blachowicz a title shot if he emerges victorious against Pereira. This incentive serves as a significant motivation for Blachowicz, who is eager to reclaim the belt for Poland.

Blachowicz respects Pereira’s impressive fighting career and acknowledges his reputation as one of the best strikers in the world. He is excited to test his own striking abilities against Pereira and see how he matches up against such a formidable opponent.
