Blachowicz vs Adesanya preview and predictions

The meteoric rise of Adesanya has seen him become one of MMA's biggest names over the course of just twenty unbeaten fights, with many expecting him to achieve his stated aim of one day moving up to heavyweight and becoming UFC's first ever triple-weight title holder. But can Blachowicz stop him in his tracks?

Eight wins in his last nine outings, Polish star Blachowicz's sheer grit has seen him rise from the decidedly inauspicious start to his his UFC career which saw him register a shaky 2-4 record, to becoming a rock solid champ.

Efficient as well as deadly - Blachowicz lands an impressive 52 percent of his takedown attempts - his current four-fight winning streak is the third longest active run of wins in the light heavyweight division just behind Magomed Ankalaev (six) and Glover Teixeira (five).

It's a tough one to call and UFC has seen some big upsets of late, but the unbeaten Adesanya should just have enough to conquer Blachowicz to our eye.

Who is Jan Blachowicz?

Born in Warsaw, Poland, Jan Blachowicz claimed the light middleweight title last September during the co-main event of UFC 253, where he pulled off a second-round KO victory over Dominick Reyes.

The victory marked an incredible turnaround for the 38-year-old, who began his career in the big leagues with four defeats in his first six bouts.

He since gone on to win eight of his last nine since suffering consecutive defeats to Alexander Gustafsson and Patrick Cummins with tonight's git marking the first defence of his title.

Who is Israel Adesanya?

Nigerian-born, New Zealand resident Israel Adesanya has made a lightning ascent through the UFC ranks, going from newcomer to middleweight champ in under two-years.

Nicknamed 'The Last Stylebender, the huge anime fan has a 20-0 career record with an 9-0 in the Octagon. All of those eight UFC victories have come since February 2018.

The 31-year-old claimed his middleweight title in October 2019 by knocking out Robert Whittaker, and has since made two successful defences.

Looking to claim the light middleweight title tonight, Adesanya is on record as saying he aims to step up to heavyweight in the near future and add an unprecedented third division belt to his collection.
