Nikita Krylov wants a rematch with Jan Blachowicz

Nikita Krylov admitted after his win at UFC 324 that he wants a rematch with Jan Blachowicz. The Donetsk-born Russian representative wants to take revenge on the Pole for the defeat.

Nikita Krylov recorded a very important win at UFC 324 thanks to which he broke a series of two defeats in a row. The Ukrainian-born fighter, who represents Russia, knocked out Modestas Bukauskas in the final seconds of their fight in the UFC octagon at the Las Vegas gala.

Nikita Krylov wants a rematch with Jan Blachowicz. “Miner” after his win at UFC 324 said:

– As for our category, we have many great fighters in it, and there are several rematches I would like to fight. I am particularly keen on one, my dream fight is a duel with Jan Blachowicz. He is still a very dangerous fighter and I would like to get back at him for the defeat.

Jan Blachowicz submitted Krylov with an arm triangle in September 2018 in what was the main event of the UFC gala in Moscow. For the Pole, without a doubt, the more media-savvy fights would be those against fighters like Khalil Rountree or Jamahal Hill.

It should also be noted that Bukauskas is not even ranked, so Krylov’s win over this fighter does not give him much. In his previous fights Nikita lost to Guskov and to Reyes, and with these opponents the Pole recorded a draw and a win.
