Blachowicz Challenges Whittaker Following Stirling Defeat

Jan Blachowicz has issued a challenge to Robert Whittaker for a fight after Whittaker identified him as a possible opponent. This callout comes in the wake of Blachowicz's defeat to Navajo Stirling at UFC Belgrade last month.

Blachowicz lost to Stirling in under three minutes due to ground-and-pound. Following this loss, he reached out to Whittaker on social media, urging him to turn his interest into action. Whittaker had previously expressed a willingness to fight Blachowicz before his loss to Stirling.

Whittaker recently made his light heavyweight debut, defeating Nikita Krylov at UFC 329 after a series of losses at middleweight. However, the potential matchup is complicated by Whittaker's training situation, as he trains with light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg and Stirling, both of whom have stated they will not compete against each other.
