Jan Blachowicz vs Carlos Ulberg is a pivotal gentle heavyweight combat, and the winner might get the following title shot after Magomed Ankalaev
Blachowicz (29-10-1) will finish his year-and-a-half-long layoff at UFC London. The previous UFC gentle heavyweight champion hasn’t fought since July of 2023 when he misplaced by break up resolution to Pereira. Earlier than that, he fought Ankalaev to a draw for the vacant title. The Pole gained the UFC gentle heavyweight title again in 2020 with a knockout win over Dominick Reyes. He defended the belt as soon as with a win over Israel Adesanya. Blachowicz is at present ranked fourth.
Carlos Ulberg (11-1) is coming off a choice win over Volkan Oezdemir at UFC Macau in November. Ulberg is a rising contender who’s using a seven-fight profitable streak after he misplaced his UFC debut. The Kiwi has notable wins over Alonzo Menifield and Da Un Jung and if he defeats Blachowicz, he might get a title shot.
The opposite combat at UFC London is a heavyweight scrap between Marcin Tybura vs. Mick Parkin. Tybura is a perennial contender at heavyweight and is ranked eighth. Tybura is coming off a stoppage win over Jhonata Diniz to return to the win column after a stoppage loss to Serghei Spivac.
Parkin, in the meantime, is a heavyweight prospect from England. The Brit is 10-0 as a professional and coming off a knockout win over Lukasz Brzeski. Parkin is 4-0 within the UFC and now will get a top-10 opponent.
