Jan Błachowicz prepares for UFC return after loss to Navajo Stirling

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz is preparing for a return to the octagon following a first-round knockout loss to Navajo Stirling. Despite the recent defeat and a period of struggling with injuries, including shoulder and knee issues, Błachowicz has resumed training at the Warsaw Athletics Center.

His trainer, Maciej Miskiń, stated that the UFC continues to value the 43-year-old veteran as a legend of the organization and has no intention of releasing him. There is growing interest in a potential matchup between Błachowicz and former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, a challenge to which Błachowicz has expressed readiness. While a specific date and opponent have not been finalized, the prospect of a high-profile fight remains a possibility.
