LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 54: Blachowicz vs. Rakic results throughout the night (Sat. May 14. 2022) live from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A light heavyweight headliner between former undisputed division champion, the #1 ranked contender, Jan Blachowicz, and the surging Austrian-born standout, the #3 rated challenger, Aleksandar Rakic.
Rescheduled following a failed UFC Fight Night Columbus main event last month, Blachowicz will make his first Octagon outing since October of last year, where he headlined UFC 267 against Glover Teixeira, dropping his undisputed title in a one-sided second round rear-naked choke defeat.
For Rakic, the Vienna native has landed two victories since his sole Octagon loss, rebounding with a pair of unanimous decision wins over both one-time title challengers, Anthony Smith, and common-foe, Thiago Santos. Rakic has been out of action since March of last year where he defeated Brazilian striker, Santos on the main card of UFC 259.
