Jan Blachowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev Odds
UFC light heavyweight gold is on the line on Saturday night in Las Vegas as former champion and current No. 3-ranked contender Jan Blachowicz hopes to reclaim his belt when he meets No. 4-ranked Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC 282 main event.
The card initially featured the rematch from UFC 275 between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira. However, Prochazka vacated the belt due to a severe shoulder injury, setting the stage for Ankalaev-Blachowicz.
Ankalaev, considered the uncrowned 205-pound champion, is on a nine-fight winning streak since losing his UFC debut to Paul Craig with one second remaining on the clock in 2018.
Blachowicz has won six of his past seven fights – with his only loss coming to Teixeira (via submission) at UFC 267 in October 2021.
