The former UFC light heavyweight champion has expressed his liking for the game in the past as well. In 2022, he chose The Witcher game and book series over the Netflix series of the same name.
The Polish MMA fighter boasts a professional MMA record of 29-9. Blachowicz is currently bracing up for his high-voltage light heavyweight bout against Alex Pereira at UFC 291 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Brendan Schaub believes Jan Blachowicz would be a tough challenge for Alex Pereira to overcome
Brendan Schaub believes that Jan Blachowicz is one of the toughest matches the UFC could have made for Alex Pereira.
Pereira has had an impressive run in the UFC. He rose phenomenally in the promotion and won the UFC middleweight championship by defeating his kickboxing rival Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. However, Adesanya ended his reign by defeating him by knockout at UFC 287 in a rematch, which saw 'Poatan' move to light heavyweight.
Pereira is now set to make his first outing in the light heavyweight division against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 291. Brendan Schaub, while reviewing the bout on his podcast The Schaub Show, commended Blachowicz for his experience, grappling, and striking power. He described him as a tough challenge for Pereira, whom he feels doesn't have the experience of fighting "big" and "heavy" grapplers like Blachowicz.
"I’m a little surprised, just with Jan’s experience in MMA compared to Alex Pereira. Alex had the perfect route to get to a world title. He gets to Izzy, gets the job done there and then gets starched in his last outing. But he hasn’t really fought a ton of big, heavy grapplers like Jan. I’m not saying that Jan is Khabib here, but compared to Alex he’s Khabib here."
