Former bantamweight champion Jan Blachowicz has once again talked about wanting a rematch with current titleholder Alex Pereira, to whom he lost by a controversial split judges' decision last July.
"He's not a better fighter than me and I think I deserve a rematch. When he fights against me, I will still think I will win that fight.
The judges give different scores, but I believe I won the first fight against him and I believe I deserve a rematch. He knocked everyone out - not me. When I come back, I believe I can fight him again," Fanatics View quoted Blachowicz as saying.
No. 2 in the UFC lightweight division rankings, Corey Sandhagen, has spoken out about a fight with tenth-ranked Umar Nurmagomedov.
It was previously announced that these fighters would meet on August 3 at a tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
"At this stage of my career, I no longer want fights with my participation to last the whole distance. During my downtime, I've done some serious work to add power to my hands. I've also worked on a couple of techniques to tear people apart.
I'm usually confident before a fight, but now I'm not just confident - I know I'm capable of hurting him. It will be great to show my skills to the world," the American said on The MMA Hour show.
Former world boxing champion, now commentator and expert Paul Malignaggi believes that George Kambososos will lose without a chance to Vasyl Lomachenko in the upcoming fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title.
"I believe that Kambososos will probably win a round by a stretch or not win a round at all in this fight. As far as I'm concerned, Kambososos should end his career after this fight. He was able to support himself financially. Respect to him for being able to squeeze out a win against Lopez," Malignaggi told ProBoxTV.
Recall that Lomachenko and Cambosos will fight on May 12 in Perth, Australia.
UFC lightweight title challenger Merab Dvalishvili has revealed how he plans to proceed in his fight with division champion Sean O'Malley.
According to the latest information, the fight between the American and the Georgian could take place on September 14 at UFC 306.
"Yes, I'm one of the best fighters. But don't be surprised if Sean O'Malley takes me down. This is MMA, guys. I'm a humble guy, and anything is possible here.
I'm going to wrestle Sean a little bit first, and then I'm going to use my striking and knock him out in the standup," Dvalishvili told Sportskeeda.
Recall that the 33-year-old Dvalishvili is riding a streak of ten straight wins in the UFC.
