Report – UFC matchmaker scoffs at calls for Alex Pereira, Jan Blachowicz title fight: ‘It doesn’t make any sense’

Former UFC champion, Daniel Cormier details why the upcoming Alex Pereira and Jan Blawchowicz won’t be for the vacant light-heavyweight title.

Another twist came in the 205lb division this past week when then reigning champion, Jamahal Hill, had suffered an Achillies injury and would vacant the title. This has now left the need for a light-heavyweight vacant title fight, which will be the fourth of its kind in just three years.

Injuries and results have left the division without a clear cut pecking order, and there is no fights booked between the ranked fighters.
