No. 1 ranked light heavyweight Jan Blachowicz seems like a likely next opponent for Prochazka. With his great physics, solid Muay Thai and slick grappling, the Polish powerhouse could very well be the divisions toughest opponent for the champion.

“I think if they will make this fight in Poland, me against Jiri, in national stadium. Joanna, Mateusz Gamrot. Sixty thousand people could be there,” Blachowicz recently said on The MMA Hour.

Blachowicz last fought Aleksandar Rakić in May, and got away with a TKO win after Rakić suffered a knee injury.
