On the day Jan Blachowicz arrived in the UFC, he was immediately touted as a potential contender in the light heavyweight division.
With a strong body of work before ever stepping into the Octagon, the Polish fighter deserved the praise he was receiving but ultimately he still had to back up the hype with his fight performances.
He made an impressive debut with a TKO against current top 10 ranked fighter Ilir Latifi, but then unfortunately the wheels fell off.
Following his first win in the UFC, Blachowicz stumbled with a less than remarkable 1-4 run including losses to Alexander Gustafsson, Corey Anderson and Jimi Manuwa.
