Returning to the octagon after losing the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg) to Glover Teixeira, Jan Blachowicz will have a complicated mission in UFC Las Vegas 54. In the main fight of the show, the former champion will face the dangerous prospect Aleksandar rakic and explained how he imagines the confrontation will unfold. The statement was given in an interview with 'Combate'.

“Rakic is very young, 10 years younger than me. Very motivated, very strong, a big guy, very dynamic fighter, with powerful kicks. It's going to be a tough fight. I'm curious. I want to feel his power, I want to see what he has for me, I'm ready for it. He fights standing up, I like fighting standing up, so I think this fight will be 80 or 90% standing up. I think it will be a good fight for the fans to watch. I'm ready for anything. Unless he wants to take me down, I won’t be ready for that, but maybe I will take him down,” Blachowicz said.
Light heavyweight champion between 2020 and 2021, Jan was dethroned last October by the Brazilian Glover Teixeira, UFC 267, which took place in Abu Dhabi (UAE). Now, the Polish fighter has a record of 28 triumphs and nine setbacks in his long professional career.
