Jan Błachowicz is the man who brought 'legendary Polish power' into the MMA vocabulary — a former UFC light heavyweight champion who won the belt in 2020 and famously handed Israel Adesanya his first MMA loss. At 43, he is the division's elder statesman, with a résumé that includes Alexander Gustafsson, Luke Rockhold, Dominick Reyes, and Corey Anderson. The recent run has been rockier: a razor-thin split decision loss to Alex Pereira, a decision defeat to Carlos Ulberg, and a majority draw with Bogdan Guskov. He remains ranked in the top five, and his blend of power and sneaky submission skill still makes him dangerous for anyone.
