Jan Blachowicz is hands down one of the most dominant fighters in the light heavyweight division. At UFC 253, the Polish powerhouse defeated Dominick Reyes to win the vacant UFC light heavyweight championship. Blachowicz defended his championship against the Style Bender earlier this year and won by unanimous decision. This made Blachowicz the first man to have ever defeated Israel Adesanya in his fighting career.
At the moment, the fighter is on a roll at UFC. He has won nine of his previous ten fights and has a five-fight winning streak going for him. This weekend, at UFC 267, Blachowicz will compete against Glover Teixeira for the UFC light heavyweight championship. Glover is on a five-fight win streak as well and will look to prove himself worthy of the title against Blachowicz. This will be Texeira’s second UFC title attempt, his first being at UFC 172 against Jon Jones.
In the build-up to their huge fight at the UFC 267 event, we didn’t get to see a lot of bad blood between the two fighters. Unlike most fighters, who trash talk and discourage their opponents before the fights, these two fighters wished each other luck. The Polish fighter went one step further by gifting Glover a unique present from Poland.
