The second title defense for UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz has been made official for September.
Blachowicz will meet current No. 1 ranked contender Glover Teixeira at UFC 266. The news was announced by UFC President Dana White via Brett Okamoto of ESPN on Wednesday morning.
Blachowicz won the vacant championship just last year after knocking out Dominick Reyes in the second round of their fight at UFC 253. His first title defense came six months later at UFC 259 in a champion vs. champion super-fight between him and previously undefeated middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya.
