Jan Blachowicz is ready to rematch Israel Adesanya at middleweight, and just the notion of fighting his former adversary is the motivation Blachowicz needs to make the cut down to 185.

Blachowicz battled Adesanya in the latter’s debut in Light Heavyweight at UFC 259 back in March 2021, where the Polish fighter handed Izzy his first career defeat via unanimous decision.

Now, as “The Last Stylebender” avenged his loss in the rematch against Alex Pereira at UFC 287 last Saturday night and also regained his 185-pound belt in the process, Blachowicz is ready to offer Adesanya another rematch in his next outing- a fight for Adesanya’s middleweight title.

After congratulating Adesanya on his victory, Blachowicz offered him another “rematch” but this time in middleweight, meaning if Adesanya accepts, it would offer Blachowicz a shot at the 185-pound belt.

I feel that I can cut my weight and fight Adesanya: Jan Blachowicz

Speaking to Sportskeeda, the KSW veteran stated that while he intends to remain at 105, fighting someone like Adesanys is the motivation that he needs to make the cut down to 185.

“If I won’t do this [cut to 185lbs] serious, I would not say it. I feel that I could do it, I can cut my weight and fight against him [Israel Adesanya] in his division. But we’ll see, you know, what he gonna say? If they want to do it or not, we will see,” said Blachowicz.

“I prefer to stay in my weight but if they would give me this fight because you know this is title shot, fight against someone like Israel, very big motivation that way I could cut my weight and fight in middleweight,” he added.
