Born on February 24, 1983, Polish competitor Jan Błachowicz fights from an orthodox stance in the UFC light heavyweight division. Representing Berkut WCA Fight Team and Ankos MMA, his martial arts foundation includes judo and Muay Thai. He became a former divisional champion after securing the vacant title with a technical knockout victory over Dominick Reyes.
Heading into UFC 302 with a 12-7-1 record, Błachowicz's prior matches show mixed results. He earned a unanimous decision against Israel Adesanya before losing his belt to Glover Teixeira via a rear-naked choke submission. Błachowicz rebounded with a technical knockout win over Aleksandar Rakić, who suffered a knee injury, but then fought Magomed Ankalaev to a split draw. In his last outing before this event, he fell to Alex Pereira by split decision.
