The UFC makes its return to Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates for Saturday’s UFC 267 fight card. At the top of the event, Jan Blachowicz puts his light heavyweight crown on the line against former title challenger Glover Teixeira.
Blachowicz captured the vacant light heavyweight crown in Abu Dhabi in September 2020 when he knocked out Dominick Reyes at UFC 253. Jon Jones vacated the 205-pound belt in August. Blachowicz made his first title defense in March of this year when he defeated UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Blachowicz is on a five-fight winning streak.
