Jan Blachowicz - News & Rumors - UFC

Injured and out for UFC 328 Blachowicz (knee) will not fight Bogdan Guskov at UFC 328 on May 9, according to Mike Bohn of MMAJunkie.com.

Impact After a tough round of sparring, Blachowicz suffered a meniscus tear in his knee, and its recovery will require a lengthy amount of time that will force him out not only for UFC 328 but also indefinitely. He may have to wait a while to break his four-fight winless skid. It is unknown when Blachowicz will return, but he may finish 2026 without having fought anybody in the year.

Digs deep to earn draw Blachowicz and Bogdan Guskov fought to a majority draw (29-28, 28-28, 28-28) at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact This fight went off as a pick 'em and there ended up being very little separating the two inside the octagon. Set to turn 43 years old in February, Blachowicz started quickly, firing off plenty of low kicks and absorbing no real damage in Round 1. That changed when he was dropped by a Guskov bomb early in the second frame. He was lucky to survive the frame. Jan found his bearings and proved to be the better conditioned athlete, getting the best of the action in Round 3. The result was entirely dependent on whether or not you gave Guskov a 10-8 score in Round 2. As for Blachowicz, he's still without a victory (0-2-2) dating back to May 2022.
