“I’ve by no means misplaced a rematch. And I gained’t,” Blachowicz tweeted.
As of this writing, Pereira hasn’t responded to Blachowicz’s tweet.
Pereira is prone to face the surging Magomed Ankalaev for his subsequent UFC gentle heavyweight title protection, though nothing has been formally introduced by the promotion. Ankalaev defeated Johnny Walker earlier this yr and fought to a draw towards Blachowicz for the then-vacant belt at UFC 282.
A timeframe for Blachowicz’s return is unsure as of this writing. He’s handled some well being points throughout his hiatus which have delayed his UFC comeback.
Blachowicz defeated Dominick Reyes for the then-vacant belt at UFC 253, earlier than defending the title towards Israel Adesanya at UFC 259. He misplaced to Pereira’s mentor, Glover Teixeira, for the belt at UFC 267.
Blachowicz might doubtlessly get a second probability at Pereira quickly. However for now, the Polish brawler will seemingly should earn a minimum of one win to get again into the title combine.
