“It was a little bit friendly and a little bit aggressive,” said Jiri talking to the media after his title win at UFC 275. “I said to him, ‘Let’s go. You are next.’ He started to be aggressive because he saw the camera and all these things. He tried to flex a little bit more. Yeah, I said to him [blowing a kiss] ‘I love you.'”
Blachowicz is a former champion who lost his belt to 42-year-old Glover Teixeira at UFC 267. Blachowicz since then loss has fought Aleksandar Rakic and defeated him. Jan also called out Jiri in his recent tweet and wrote, “Jiri, let’s do this! The battle for Europe. The biggest fight in the Continent’s history.”
