JAN BŁACHOWICZ

Representing the Berkut WCA Fight Team, Polish light heavyweight Jan Błachowicz built a reputation on his judo, grappling, and muay Thai background. This well-rounded skill set, blending striking and submissions, helped him become the first male fighter from Poland to capture a UFC championship. Over his career, he achieved prominent victories over notable opponents like Israel Adesanya and Dominick Reyes.

Holding a pre-event record of 12-6-1, Błachowicz has experienced mixed results in his recent outings. After securing a technical knockout victory over Aleksandar Rakić due to a knee injury, he fought Magomed Ankalaev to a split draw. He then suffered consecutive decision losses to Alex Pereira and Carlos Ulberg, before recording a majority draw against Bogdan Guskov in his most recent match.
