Jan is quite an experienced fighter, but still, Alexandar is in much better shape now. He has a great defence in the parterre and Blachowicz’s main weapon he can easily neutralise.

Blachowicz was the UFC Light Heavyweight champion not too long ago. However, he lost his belt in his last fight against Glover Teixeira. Ian is pretty good at wrestling.
He has a statistic of 60% successful footwork passes and blocked takedown attempts from his opponent. Still, in his last fight, it was the chokehold that he lost.
Still, this is a career summary, but even in his fight with Israel Adesanya Ian showed nothing in the parterre. We can conclude that over the years the former champion’s level of fighting has suffered.
However, Blachowicz has a good punch. He won almost 30% of his fights by KO.

Rakic has made good progress recently. He has six wins from seven fights under his belt in the UFC. Alexandar is currently ranked third in the Light Heavyweight rankings.
The Austrian has a basic background in Gojira Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing and boxing. However, still, in wrestling, he is not very successful in attacking.
Alexandar Rakic clearly defends against leg passes, and in his fight with Blachowicz, this skill will come in useful.
The Austrian himself will probably have to use a standup. Rakic doesn’t throw too many punches. He hits hard and accurately.
