The Pole is a historic figure in mixed martial arts. Blachowicz comes into this bout on the heels of a technical knockout victory over Aleksandar Rakic on May 14, a fight that ended in the third round due to an injury to Rakic. It was Blachowicz’s first fight since losing the championship.
When he held the light heavyweight title, he successfully defended it once against Israel Adesanya. In his second defense, he lost the title to Glover Teixeira in a grueling contest. The finish came in the fifth round, by submission through a powerful choke hold by the Brazilian.

Ankalaev is riding a nine-fight winning streak in the UFC. The Russian outpointed Anthony Smith in his most recent octagon appearance, thanks to a furious second-round knockout.
He made his UFC debut in 2018, and it was with the only blemish on his record: a loss to Scotland’s Paul Craig. Since then, he has won all nine of his fights, making him a true favorite in the betting odds for this clash.
JefeBet Prediction
Magomed Ankalaev arrives in the best moment of his career. He is on the rise and will face a veteran, Jan Blachowicz, whose train seems to have already passed.
