Blachowicz will defend his championship opposite Glover Teixeira in the UFC 267 headliner on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The Polish powerhouse enters the match on the strength of five straight victories, three of them finishes. Blachowicz last competed at UFC 259, where he denied Israel Adesanya’s bid to become a simultaneous two-division champion and retained his title in a five-round unanimous decision on March 6. Teixeira, meanwhile, also finds himself on a five-fight winning streak. The affable Brazilian last fought at UFC on ESPN 17, as he submitted Thiago Santos with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their Nov. 7 confrontation.
