UFC Targeting Jan Blachowicz, Aleksandar Rakic to Headline March 26 Card

Former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz is expected to compete for the first time since losing the belt when he faces Aleksandar Rakic in the main event of an Ultimate Fighting Championship card on March 26.

The proposed 205-pound booking was first reported by Ariel Helwani, but the bout has not been finalized at this point in time. The event does not yet have an official location or venue.

Blachowicz saw a five-bout winning streak come to an end at UFC 267, when he relinquished the light heavyweight crown to Glover Teixeira in a second-round submission defeat.
