Jan
\nBlachowicz<\/a> is eager to bounce back from his recent defeat in
\nthe
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> and has singled out who he wants
\nto return against.<\/p>\n

Blachowicz took on Navajo
\nStirling<\/a> in the main event of
\nUFC Belgrade<\/a>. Stirling had accepted the matchup on less than
\nthree weeks\u2019 notice, making a 40-day turnaround from a win over
\nIon
\nCutelaba<\/a>, and finished Blachowicz via vicious ground-and-pound
\nin less than three minutes.<\/p>\n

Jan Blachowicz wants Robert Whittaker next after his loss to
\nNavajo Stirling<\/h2>\n

Stirling\u2019s teammate, Robert
\nWhittaker<\/a>, recently mentioned Blachowicz while discussing
\nfuture matchups. The former middleweight champ said that he would
\nhave been interested in fighting Blachowicz if the Polish veteran
\nhadn\u2019t lost to Stirling.<\/p>\n

Blachowicz has now called out Whittaker on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, [Robert Whittaker]! Let\u2019s turn your words into action,\u201d
\nBlachowicz posted.<\/p>\n

Whittaker (27-9) made his light heavyweight debut last month after
\nback-to-back defeats at middleweight. The Australian knocked out
\nNikita
\nKrylov<\/a> in his 205-pound debut at
\nUFC 329<\/a>. He is among three top-ranked UFC light heavyweights
\ntraining out of
\nCity Kickboxing<\/a>. Carlos
\nUlberg<\/a> is the champion, Stirling is rapidly rising in the
\nrankings and yet, all three CKB fighters have indicated they don\u2019t
\nintend to fight one another.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Blachowicz (29-12) hasn\u2019t won in five straight outings,
\nincluding two draws, since 2022.<\/p>\n
