UFC 282 will take place on Saturday, December 10. The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada will host the final PPV of 2022. The night gets started with the early prelims at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+ and is followed by the prelims on ESPN2/ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET. The main card will switch over to ESPN+PPV and will begin at 10 p.m. ET. The main event of the night will see Jan Blachowicz defending the vacated light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev.
Blachowicz has a 29-9 record and is heading into this fight off a win. He took down Aleksandar Rakic by third-round knockout in May of this year. Prior to that, he lost the light heavyweight belt to Glover Teixeira when he was submitted in the second round of their October 2021 bout. When Jiri Prochazka had to vacate the title due to a serious shoulder injury last month, this fight that was likely a number one contender's match ended up being re-branded for the vacant title. Blachowicz is the +275 underdog at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Ankalaev has an 18-1 record heading into this fight. He lost in his UFC debut but then has gone on a nine-match win streak. He has picked up five wins by knockout and four by unanimous decision in that span. Most recently, he knocked out Anthony Smith in the second round of their fight last July. Ankalaev is the heavy favorite with -330 odds.
