H2H Stats Fights and Previous Results
Jan Blachowicz Player Overview
The 42-year-old Polish fighter Jan Błachowicz is a former UFC light heavyweight champion. He reached the pinnacle in 2020 with a sensational knockout victory over Dominick Reyes, claiming the coveted belt. Błachowicz successfully defended his title for the first time in March 2021 by defeating Israel Adesanya. However, his reign came to an end at UFC 267 when Glover Teixeira submitted him, becoming the new champion. In 2022, at UFC 282, Jan had another shot at the vacant light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev, but their bout ended in a controversial draw. Since then, fortune hasn't favored Błachowicz: he has suffered two consecutive split-decision losses to Alex Pereira and Carlos Ulberg in highly tense and closely contested battles.

Bogdan Guskov Player Overview
The 33-year-old fighter from Uzbekistan, known by the nickname "Tsarevich," Bogdan Guskov, embarked on his UFC journey in 2023. His debut bout ended in defeat; he succumbed to Volkan Oezdemir via submission in the first round. It's worth noting that Guskov took that fight on short notice, without the benefit of a full training camp. However, with ample time to prepare, Guskov showcased impressive form, securing four consecutive victories by stoppage. The highlight of his dominant run was a spectacular knockout of Nikita Krylov at UFC on ABC 9 in July 2025.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
It seems quite odd that the Polish veteran is favored in this matchup... Błachowicz hasn't won in three consecutive fights, and he's competed just once in the last 2.5 years. At 42, his best years are well behind him. Guskov holds the edge in speed, technique, and striking power. Unless a miracle occurs, the fighter from Uzbekistan is expected to secure the victory in this bout!
