Jan Blachowicz Welcomes Alex Pereira To Light-Heavyweight Division
1 year agoFormer light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz (29-9-1) is set to face former middleweight champion Alex Pereira in the co-main event of UFC 291 on Saturday. Blachowicz had an opportunity to reclaim the belt when he and Magomed Ankalaev fought for the vacant title at UFC 282. Unfortunately, the fight ended in a split draw. DraftKings sees Blachowicz as a slight favorite with a salary of $8,200. He averages 66.6 fantasy points throughout 19 UFC bouts. Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill recently vacated the title due to an injury he suffered, leaving the division without a champion. The winner of this fight just might be the next in line for a title shot.
