Jan
Blachowicz is eager to bounce back from his recent defeat in
the
Ultimate Fighting Championship and has singled out who he wants
to return against.
Blachowicz took on Navajo
Stirling in the main event of
UFC Belgrade. Stirling had accepted the matchup on less than
three weeks’ notice, making a 40-day turnaround from a win over
Ion
Cutelaba, and finished Blachowicz via vicious ground-and-pound
in less than three minutes.

Jan Blachowicz wants Robert Whittaker next after his loss to
Navajo Stirling
Stirling’s teammate, Robert
Whittaker, recently mentioned Blachowicz while discussing
future matchups. The former middleweight champ said that he would
have been interested in fighting Blachowicz if the Polish veteran
hadn’t lost to Stirling.
Blachowicz has now called out Whittaker on X.
“Hey, [Robert Whittaker]! Let’s turn your words into action,”
Blachowicz posted.
Whittaker (27-9) made his light heavyweight debut last month after
back-to-back defeats at middleweight. The Australian knocked out
Nikita
Krylov in his 205-pound debut at
UFC 329. He is among three top-ranked UFC light heavyweights
training out of
City Kickboxing. Carlos
Ulberg is the champion, Stirling is rapidly rising in the
rankings and yet, all three CKB fighters have indicated they don’t
intend to fight one another.
Meanwhile, Blachowicz (29-12) hasn’t won in five straight outings,
including two draws, since 2022.
Hey, @robwhittakermma!
Let’s turn your words into action. 🤜🤛— Jan
