Jan Błachowicz vs Magomed Ankalaev Promo | Will it be a draw?

UFC is set to close out its PPV schedule for 2022 on Saturday night in Las Vegas with a title on the line. The problem is that the title has suddenly become vacant after some unfortunate news befell the light heavyweight division. Because of that UFC 282 will see an unexpected main event when the cage door closes inside the T-Mobile Arena. That will be former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz battling rising contender #magomedankalaev Anakalaev for the vacant title at 205 pounds. #janblachowicz 39, earned the title in 2020 with a thunderous knockout of Dominick Reyes. He then scored a surprising decision over middleweight champion Israel Adesanya before being submitted by Glover Teixeira in October 2021 to cede the title. Now, after earning a win over Aleksandr Rakic because of a knee injury, Blachowicz looks to become golden again. Ankalaev will enter his first title opportunity on a nine-fight win streak that includes three victories over former title challengers, including Volkan Oezdemir, Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith. Ten of his 18 career wins have come by knockout. The expectation, according to UFC president Dana White, is that the winner of the main event will take on Glover Teixeira next in 2023. Then, whoever wins that matchup will take on Prochazka once he is healthy and cleared to return as was discussed with the former champ when he gave up his title before undergoing shoulder surgery. It should provide some clarity in a division that has developed tons of parity with the absence of long-reigning titleholder Jon Jones. #blachowiczankalaev
