Staking his claim for a title fight rematch with current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, former gold holder, Jan Blachowicz has called for a December return to the Octagon amid a series of shoulder injuries – with the Brazilian’s manager handpicking the Pole as the ideal next contender.

Blachowicz, a former undisputed light heavyweight champion, has been out of action since he fought the above-mentioned, Pereira in a title-eliminator back in July of last year at UFC 291, pushing the Brazilian the distance over the course of three rounds in a close, split decision loss in Salt Lake City.

And forced from a year-star rematch with fellow European talent, Aleksandar Rakic due to a lingering shoulder injury – which required surgery to address, Blachowicz has been vocal in his quest for a rematch with Sao Paulo finisher, Pereira – particularly with spoils on the line.

Claiming to possess the “counter” to Pereira’s apparent magic inside the Octagon, Blachowicz was named as the ideal candidate to welcome the former two-weight champion to the Octagon in a bid for a third successful title defense.

And with links emerging to a potential UFC 310 comeback in December for Pereira, Polish veteran, Blachowicz has called for a slot on the same card at the end of this year.

“Woke up today. I drank my favorite coffee, walked with my dog, played with Jan Jr.” Jan Blachowicz posted on his official X account. “A normal day but something was different. I called the UFC office. I told them: sign me up for December. Feels like my old version is back. I’m back.”

Paving his way to the vacant light heavyweight crown back in 2020, Blachowicz took out multi-time title challenger, Dominick Reyes with a vicious knockout win on ‘Fight Island’.

And lodging a single successful title defense, former KSW champion, Blachowicz knocked back then-middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya with a unanimous decision win at the UFC Apex facility the following year, handing the City Kickboxing staple his first professional mixed martial arts defeat.

Former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor has previewed a potential fantasy fight with current featherweight titleholder, Ilia Topuria – particularly if both end up in the BKFC in the future, claiming he would “slap” around the unbeaten striking sensation.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the UFC banner, attended a BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) in Marbella, Spain – helping to promote an October even in the region alongside promotional boss, David Feldman.

Striking a partnership with the North American-based glove-less organization earlier this annum, McGregor was slated to make his own return to competition at UFC 303 last month, seeing a scheduled fight with former lightweight title challenger, Ilia Topuria fall to the wayside.

Fracturing a toe on his left foot, McGregor withdrew from a set welterweight return against Topuria as a result, failing to snap a now-three-year plus hiatus away from the Octagon since he fractured his left tibia and fibula against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.

And alongside his deal with the BKFC, McGregor has played up a potential move to the potential in the near future, confirming he retains just a pair of fights on his current UFC contract.

Conor McGregor vows to “slap” around Ilia Topuria in potential fight

Weighing up potential matchups at today’s pre-event press conference in Malaga, ex-champion, McGregor claimed he would “slap” around Topuria if they shared the ring in the future in the BKFC.

“You know, Ilia (Topuria) – a Spanish-Georgian lad, he’s not bad,” Conor McGregor told assembled media. “He’s a boxing-heavy style. He would certainly lend well in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – I’d slap him around, he’s too small. I’m a big lad compared to Ilia, but he’s not bad. He’s a current UFC world champion. …So, if you’re asking – I’d beat King Kong if you’re asking me, you know what I’m saying?”

As for what’s likely next for Topuria, the undisputed featherweight champion is expected to headline UFC 307 in October, taking on would-be common-foe, Max Holloway in his first defense of the divisional title.

Surging light heavyweight contender, Magomed Ankalaev has vowed to turn in a one-sided victory against incumbent gold holder, Alex Pereira in a future UFC title fight, claiming the Brazilian won’t be able to land a single significant strike on him when they share the Octagon.

As for Pereira, the former duel-weight champion headlined UFC 303 at the end of last month during International Fight Week, landing a stunning second round high-kick knockout win over former champion, Jiri Prochazka in the pair’s title rematch.

And linked with a title fight against the surging Russian later this annum as he eyes a December comeback clash at UFC 310, Sao Paulo native, Pereira has welcomed the chance to take on Ankalaev in his return to action.

“I want to rest a little,” Alex Pereira said. “But I think December would be a good date for me.”

“I’m feeling good, [and light heavyweight] is where I want to stay,” Alex Pereira continued. “Doesn’t matter [against] who. A lot of people are saying (Magomed) Ankalaev; that’s who they are talking about now. People are focused on him. But I’m training well, just not for him but for anyone. It’s a good fight for me to fight. I’ll be well prepared for him, or anyone.”

Magomed Ankalaev plots dominant win over Alex Pereira

And predicting a dominant title victory against Brazilian knockout star, Pereira, surging challenger, Ankalaev has boldly predicted he’ll emerge hugely unscathed from their potential pairing.

“We all understand – many experts understand that I can easily beat (Alex) Pereira,” Magomed Ankalaev told Aslanbek Badaev during a recent interview. “Not even close. I think with his speed he won’t touch me at all. The most he can do is hit me with a low kick. I think he won’t touch me with his hands. I’m so confident in myself that I can even beat him standing up. I can guarantee this – I can fight him standing up until the end, if necessary. But i want to beat him up, I just want to attack him, just show him that I’m better than him.”
