Dominick Reyes vs Jan Blachowicz — Fight recap

Jan Blachowicz retained his light heavyweight title with a second-round TKO of Dominick Reyes at 4:36, landing a devastating knockdown that prompted referee Kevin Sataki to stop the fight. Blachowicz out-struck the challenger 41 significant strikes to 21, connecting at a 46% clip while Reyes managed just 41% accuracy on 51 attempts.

The Polish champion controlled the fight's tempo through superior head strike volume (25 of 70) and landed a perfect 10 of 10 leg kicks, systematically breaking down Reyes's lower body throughout the opening rounds. Reyes, who landed 10 of 11 leg kicks himself but couldn't generate sustained offense, never mounted a takedown attempt and found himself unable to close the distance effectively against Blachowicz's measured, technical approach.

The knockout shifted the light heavyweight landscape, establishing Blachowicz as the division's clear top dog heading into potential super-fight discussions.
