UFC on ESPN 36: Blachowicz v Rakic [14.05.2022]

Asked by bluerobo Promote - View in Hive.blog - Audit

UFC Vegas 54 will take place at the UFC's Apex in Las Vegas.

The card looks a little unassuming, but it has the potential to deliver good fights. Don't sleep on this one.

The headline fight is Jan Blachowicz versus Aleksandar Rakic in the light heavyweight division.

Both fighters are underappreciated by the fans. In particular Rakic is still flying under the radar. Jan has stepped into the limelight with a few impressive wins (but boring fights) and a championship belt. A win should push either fighter right in line for a title shot, or at least into a contender position.
