Jan Blachowicz challenges Robert Whittaker after Belgrade knockout

Former UFC light‑heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz, who suffered a first‑round knockout by Navajo Stirling at UFC Belgrade, posted on X urging Robert Whittaker to "turn your words into action." Whittaker, a former middleweight champion who recently moved up to light heavyweight and knocked out Nikita Krylov at UFC 329, had earlier said he was interested in fighting Blachowicz. Both fighters train at City Kickboxing, but Whittaker has said he will not face teammates Carlos Ulberg or Stirling. The call‑out pits two veteran ex‑champions against each other, with Whittaker likely the betting favorite given his recent successful debut. The UFC has not yet confirmed the bout.
