It will be the pair’s first meeting.
38-year-old Polish MMA fighter Jan Maciej Blachowicz is the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Light Heavyweight title holder. The fighter from Warsaw made the most of former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones vacating his title to compete in the Heavyweight category. On the 27th of September, 2020, UFC 253 saw Blachowicz fight and win against Dominick Reyes of the United States of America to claim the vacant title. In what was adjudged the night’s performance, Blachowicz ousted Reyes in the second round via TKO. He then greatly defended his title against Israel Adesanya, handing the Kiwi his first MMA defeat.
6’2″ in height and 93 kilograms in weight, Jan Blachowicz has a 78′ reach and uses the Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighting style. His quick lateral movement and the ability to land a killer blow have led to his nickname of ‘Polish Power.’ Blachowicz has a career win-loss record of 28-8. He has been in solid form, winning 5 fights in a row.
Jan Blachowicz’s last 5 fights:
41-year-old Brazilian American MMA fighter Glover Teixeira is one of the icons of the UFC Light Heavyweight division. He holds the record for most submissions and finishes in the division. Teixeira made his UFC debut nearly a decade back, in 2012. Since then, he has made his name as one of the mainstays in the Light Heavyweight division. He has also represented the Brazilian national team in Men’s Submission Wrestling. Having attained American citizenship in 2020, Teixeira is eligible to represent either country.
Glover Teixeira is eerily similar to Jan Blachowicz regarding physical stats. He has nearly the same height and weight as the Polish fighter, although the Brazilian’s reach is shorter. Teixeira has knocked out his opponent in over half the fights he has won. His win-loss record stands at 32-7. Like Blachowicz again, Teixeira won his last 5 contests and is going through a purple patch.
Glover Teixeira’s last 5 fights:
Both fighters are extremely similar in physique, and there are many similarities in their fighting styles too. Expect Teixeira to come out with all guns blazing because he will know that Blachowicz’s superior endurance, given the Brazilian’s age, will only work against Teixeira as the fight grows older. However, the Polish Power knows exactly when to push and when to take things easy. As the battle progresses, Blachowicz will surely seize the key moments, win the fight, and successfully defend his throne at UFC 267.
