Jan Blachowicz knows he’s in for a tough fight against Dominick Reyes , but he says he’ll stop him when they face off for the UFC light heavyweight title. Blachowicz (26-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) faces Reyes for the vacant strap in the co-main event of UFC 253, which is expected to take place at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. After Blachowicz knocked out Corey Anderson in the first round at UFC on ESPN+ 25 in February, he knew a title shot was next. On the other side of the bracket was Reyes, who was edged out by then light heavyweight champion Jon Jones at UFC 247 and has been campaigning for a rematch ever since. But when Jones announced that he was vacating his belt , the UFC decided to match up the two frontrunners to fight for the vacant title, and Blachowicz says Reyes is a very worthy opponent.
