Jan Blachowicz Expects To Face 'Best Luke Rockhold Ever' Despite Long Layoff

Despite Luke Rockhold’s long absence from the cage, Jan Blachowicz is expecting to face the best version of him on Saturday.

Blachowicz welcomes former middleweight champion Rockhold to the 205-pound division on Saturday night when the pair go head-to-head on the main card at UFC 239 in Las Vegas. Both fighters were finished in their last outing, with Blachowicz losing to Thiago Santos by TKO in February at UFC on ESPN+3, while Rockhold hasn’t fought since UFC 221 last February when he fought Yoel Romero for the interim middleweight belt and was knocked out.
