Reported prose from our newsroom. Knockout puncher
Jan Blachowicz brings a 12-8 UFC record and 22 previous UFC fights to Belgrade. He debuted for the promotion on Oct. 4, 2014.
His most recent win in our data came in May 2022, when he stopped Aleksandar Rakic in the third round at light heavyweight.
Two of his four fights since ended without a winner in our dataset. A five-round light heavyweight title bout with Magomed Ankalaev in December 2022 went to a split decision logged as a draw or no-contest, and a majority decision against Bogdan Guskov in December 2025 is recorded the same way.
In between, he lost a split decision to Alex Pereira in July 2023 and a unanimous decision to Carlos Ulberg in March 2025. All five of his most recent bouts were at light heavyweight.
The facts, plainly — vitals and record from public UFC statistics; nickname, nationality, hometown and camp from the public fighter register. A field we can't source stays “pending”; it never shows a fake value.

Across our full back-tested history we called 2 of Jan Blachowicz’s fights, 1 correct. Back-tested, not part of the public timestamped record: these were computed after the fact, so they show the model working on old cards — they were never published ahead of those fights.
Where the strikes go — and where they land on him. Career UFC totals, straight off the tape.
Significant strikes only, as recorded by UFCStats, across the fighter's whole UFC career. Shares are raw counts — nothing here is modelled or smoothed. Accuracy is landed ÷ attempted and comes from the per-round tape, which covers slightly fewer fights than the totals do. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.
The level change — how often it lands, how often it is stopped. Career UFC rates, straight off the tape.
Rate bars run to the population’s 95th percentile (5.96 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.
Career UFC takedown rates exactly as UFCStats publishes them: takedowns landed per 15 minutes, completion rate, submission attempts per 15 minutes, and the share of takedowns tried on them that they stuffed. Attempts per 15 is the one derived figure — landed ÷ completion rate — and it is omitted wherever either input is missing. UFCStats writes 0% where no attempt was recorded at all, so a percentage of exactly zero reads “n/a” here rather than as a measured rate. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.
Pro record: 29-12-2. In the UFC: 12-9-2. Jan Blachowicz’s last 8 UFC bouts, most recent first — the result in the cage, not our pick.
Straight off the official UFC fight record. Card names are left off on purpose: the only event labels in our data are derived, and we’d rather print nothing than print one that’s wrong.
