Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Jan Maciej Błachowicz (Polish: [ˈjan bwaˈxɔvitʂ]; born February 24, 1983)[4] is a Polish professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Light Heavyweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. A professional since 2007, he also competed for KSW and is the former KSW Light Heavyweight Champion. He is the second Polish champion in UFC history, after Joanna Jędrzejczyk and the first male Polish champion. As of January 25, 2021, he is #14 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.[5]

Background

Growing up in Cieszyn, Błachowicz started training martial arts – initially judo at the age of nine – due to the influence of action movies.[6]

Mixed martial arts career

KSW

Błachowicz entered in KSWs inaugural <95 kg (209 lb) Tournament at KSW 9. Defeating three opponents in one night, Błachowicz was able to claim the tournament crown. His first opponent was Martin Zawada, who he defeated by unanimous decision. Błachowicz was able to defeat his next two opponents by armbar, including the notable opponent Antoni Chmielewski.[7]

Błachowicz went on to defeat Christian M'Pumbu four months later via armbar, before defeating previously unbeaten Maro Perak in December 2008.

Looking to expand his horizons after a very successful year 2008, Błachowicz accepted the invitation of Tomasz Drwal and joined him at the Throwdown Training Center in San Diego for a few months. He agreed to temporarily fight at Heavyweight, against Lloyd Marshbanks under the War Gods banner, but the event was cancelled. Despite suffering a serious knee injury in July, Błachowicz continued his training, as he agreed to fight "somewhere in Mexico". About three weeks later, his knee suddenly popped in training when executing a takedown. The anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee was destroyed, making a knee reconstruction after his return to Poland inevitable.[8]

Return to MMA

Błachowicz was planning his comeback fight in March against Aleksandar Radosavljevic at WFC 10, but decided to withdraw and was replaced by fellow KSW TEAM member Antoni Chmielewski. After finally returning from the knee injury and 17 months layoff,[8] Błachowicz entered into the second KSW <95 kg tournament. Błachowicz had to face two opponents in the same night. His first opponent was the undefeated Brazilian Julio Brutus. Błachowicz was able to knock Brutus out with a high kick-right hook combination at 3:40 in the first round. In the semifinal, Błachowicz submitted his training partner Wojciech Orłowski with a rear-naked choke after just 1:37.[9]

In the meantime, Błachowicz took a fight on a few days notice against Nikolai Onikienko and submitted him in the second round.

He then faced Daniel Tabera in the final of the tournament at KSW XIV, winning via TKO in the second round and becoming once again the KSW Light Heavyweight Tournament Champion. Błachowicz then faced Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou for the vacant KSW Light Heavyweight Championship at KSW XV. He lost the fight via TKO, being unable to answer the bell for the third round because of his injured leg.[10]

Błachowicz had a rematch with Sokoudjou at KSW XVII. He won the bout via unanimous decision to become the new KSW Light Heavyweight Champion. His next three fights in KSW were against Mario Miranda, Houston Alexander and Goran Reljic, and all three he won by unanimous decision.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Błachowicz was quickly rescheduled and faced Patrick Cummins on April 8, 2017, at UFC 210.[26] After a strong first round where he rocked Cummins on multiple occasions, Błachowicz soon fell to Cummins' wrestling and his own lack of stamina in the second and third rounds. He lost the bout by majority decision.[27]

Błachowicz faced Devin Clark on October 21, 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Till.[28] He won the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the second round.[29] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[30]

Błachowicz faced Corey Anderson on February 15, 2020 at UFC Fight Night 167 in a rematch of their previous bout.[46] Błachowicz won the bout via first round knockout.[47] The victory earned him his fourth Performance of the Night bonus award.[48]

Błachowicz faced Dominick Reyes for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on September 27, 2020 at UFC 253.[49] He won the fight via TKO in the second round to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight champion.[50] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[51]

Blachowicz is scheduled to defend the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship against Israel Adesanya on March 6, 2021 at UFC 259.[52]

Personal life

Błachowicz is a close friend of former UFC fighter Tomasz Drwal, they were training together at the Throwdown Training Center in San Diego when he suffered his knee injury in 2009. Some time ago he moved to Warsaw with his girlfriend, changing his long-time club Octagon Rybnik to Paweł Nastula's club. He also occasionally trains in Alliance MMA with names such as Alexander Gustafsson, Phil Davis, Joey Beltran, and Dominick Cruz.[8]

Blachowicz confirmed the birth of his son on December 15, 2020.[53]
