Blachowicz: "Pereira is being protected, he is being treated in a special way"

Former UFC bantamweight champion Jan Blachowicz reacted to the scheduling of a fight between current titleholder Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree.

"Why did they choose Rowntree? I haven't the faintest idea. What's going on in the division? Why was Ancalaev paired with Rakic? Why didn't they ask me anything?

Pereira's being protected, he's getting special treatment. Maybe the UFC doesn't want to see our rematch with Pereira, because they realize that he will lose. Most likely, for the same reason Alex is not given Ankalaev - Magomed is very strong. Apparently, the UFC wants to see another easy win for Pereira," MiddleEasy quotes Blachowicz as saying.

It was previously announced that the Pereira - Rountree fight will take place in the main event of UFC 307 in Salt Lake City on October 5.
