Constant testing? It’s crazy! It must be annoying for Procházka, but he has inspectors almost every day, said Blachowicz

After Jiří Procházka’s win over Glover Teixeira, it was expected that his next opponent would be Jan Blachowicz. But in the end, the rematch with the Brazilian will take place, and the Pole gave the public a prediction of the expected fight.

After Jiří Procházka’s win over Glover Teixeira, it was expected that his next opponent would be Jan Blachowicz. However, a rematch with the Brazilian will eventually take place and the Pole gave the public a prediction of the expected fight and the reasons for the frequent testing.

The UFC 282 tournament, which will see Jiri Prochazka’s title defense, is inexorably approaching. The fight with Glover Teixeira will interest the entire combat sports world and it will finally be revealed whether the win was a mere fluke or not.

The chances of both are basically even, and so does the Polish Jan Blachowicz, who would like to take the title back into his own hands. What did he say about the fight?

“I think it’s just 50-50. Actually, the same as it was with their first fight against each other. If Glover doesn’t make as many mistakes as he did in that first fight, I think he could win,” the Pole predicts the fight.

But he himself would prefer the Brazilian veteran to win. The reason is simple, because he is the one who has robbed him of the title in the past, so it would be a sweet reward for him to take the belt from him.

But he wouldn’t mind a fight with Prochazka either. The tournament with their fight should take place in Europe, but that’s getting too far ahead of ourselves.

Blachowicz himself has a fight with Magomed Ankalaev and only if he wins will he be the next challenger. However, the Pole also spoke about why Prochazka is tested so often.

“It’s crazy. But Jiri came to the UFC and beat three fighters who are among the best. On top of that, he took the belt, so maybe that’s the reason why he gets tested so often. I’m sure it must be very annoying for him though.

I mean, he has inspectors at his house almost every day. I’ve never counted my testing, but if I had to guess, I’d say they’ve been at my place at most five times in one camp. I don’t understand why they test him so often,” he added.
