ABU DHABI – UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz can see himself crossing paths with Israel Adesanya again, but he has certain requirements in order for that to happen. Blachowicz (28-8 MMA, 11-5 UFC) handed Adesanya his first-career loss when he defeated him by unanimous decision early this year at UFC 259, putting a halt to his quest of becoming dual champ. While Blachowicz isn’t ruling out a rematch with Adesanya, who’s still the UFC middleweight champ, he’d like to see him notch a few wins at 205 pounds first. “Yes, why not?” Blachowicz told UFC Arabia . “But if he wants a rematch in 205, he needs to come back, win two or three fights with the top 10 and then with me.” He continued, “He’s got everything to fight in 205, but we will see if he will come back or not. But, yeah, he’s got everything.” Related Corey Anderson: If Jan Blachowicz loses to Glover Teixeira, debate on No.
