Jan Blachowicz

Jan Blachowicz, a 41-year-old Polish light heavyweight with a 29-11-2 professional record, competes from an orthodox stance at 6'2" and 78 inches of reach. Over his career, Blachowicz has established himself as a well-rounded striker and defensive wrestler, landing 3.55 strikes per minute with 50% accuracy while absorbing 3.14 per minute and defending 52% of incoming strikes.

His grappling profile reflects selective takedown attempts—averaging 0.98 per 15 minutes with 48% accuracy but solid 69% takedown defense—and he has consistently threatened submissions at 0.4 per 15 minutes. Recent highlights include a second-round knockout of Dominick Reyes in September 2020 and a submission victory over Nikita Krylov in 2018, though he has faced notable setbacks against elite competition, including a second-round submission loss to Glover Teixeira for the title in October 2021 and unanimous decisions against Alexander Gustafsson and Corey Anderson.

His recent record stands at 5-3 over his last eight fights, reflecting a mixed run against top-tier opposition in a competitive light heavyweight division where he remains a credible veteran presence.
