Jan Blachowicz will fight Aleksandar Rakic on January 21 at UFC 297
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has announced the date of the next fight of Pole Jan Blachowicz. This was reported on the promotion website.
Blachowicz will fight with Austrian Alexander Rakic. The meeting will take place on January 21 in Toronto at the UFC 297 tournament. In the main fight of the evening, American Sean Strickland and South African fighter Drikus Du Plessis will fight.
In May 2022, Blachowicz already defeated Rakic by TKO in the main event of UFC 254 in Las Vegas. Later on December 11, the Pole fought for the UFC light heavyweight title with Russian fighter Magomed Ankalaev. The fight lasted five rounds and ended in a draw. The Russian did not agree with the judge’s decision and threatened to leave the promotion. In response to this, UFC head Dana White criticized him for his passivity in the early rounds of the fight.
