The light heavyweight division is a little cluttered at the moment behind champion Jon Jones. Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz are trying to prove they belong at the top of it and might just deserve a shot at the belt themselves. But for one of them, that will become more of a reality at UFC Fight Night 167. You can stream the UFC fight tonight live on ESPN+.
Anderson is on a four-fight winning streak, earning perhaps his biggest win over fellow light heavyweight Glover Teixeira in a decision back in UFC Fight Night 134 in 2018. A win over the highly-ranked Blachowicz could have Anderson
Blachowicz will be looking for a little revenge after losing via decision to Anderson back at UFC 191 in 2015. Blachowicz is also fresh off a knockout loss to Thiago Santos back at UFC Fight Night 145 that dropped him back down the division. However, a big win over the capable Anderson could put him right back in the thick of things.
This will be an intriguing fight that will put the more wrestling-forward Anderson against a big striker in Blachowicz. It will be interesting to see if Anderson can out-pace Blachowicz and take him down at will to control the fight like last time. Or if Blachowicz can fight off takedown attempts and land some big shots to end the fight early.
