Hailing from Poland, orthodox light heavyweight Jan Błachowicz trains out of the Berkut WCA Fight Team. Utilizing his experience in Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he reached the pinnacle of his division on September 27, 2020, capturing the UFC championship by defeating Dominick Reyes via TKO.
Carrying a 12-7-1 record into UFC 329, Błachowicz previously defeated Israel Adesanya by unanimous decision before losing to Glover Teixeira via a rear-naked choke submission in late 2021. He later earned a TKO win against Aleksandar Rakić due to a knee injury. His last two appearances ended in a split draw against Magomed Ankalaev in late 2022 and a split decision loss to Alex Pereira in July 2023.
