Glover’s next fight, if he wins at UFC 275, will almost certainly be a rematch with Blachowicz. Blachowicz told MMAFighting.com’s The MMA Hour that he wants to fight the winner of this 205-pound fight. Jan Blachowicz said, “I think both, because if Glover wins, it’s gonna be a good story about the rematch; with Jiri, very good for us because if they will do this fight in Europe then it will be one of the biggest fights in Europe. Me against Jiri. It will be amazing because we’ll do it somewhere in Poland or the Czech Republic. I think if they will make this fight in Poland, me against Jiri, in the national stadium. Joanna, Mateusz Gamrot. Sixty thousand people could be there.” It’s unclear who Glover will face next, but if he defeats Prochazka, he should be in line for another major main event.
