Dominick Reyes - Jan Błachowicz
The light heavyweight title remained vacant after John Jones moved to the heavyweight division. Fighting for it will be an American, Dominick Reyes (30 years old) and a Pole, Jan Błachowicz (37 years old). Reyes is the favorite. Out of 13 fights, he lost just once, on February 8, 2020, incidentally against Jones, who became the champion then. With Jones moving to a different category and out of the way, Reyes automatically becomes the first challenger. The odds on his victory in 22Bet line are 1.33 vs. 3.26 for Błachowicz.
But the Pole should not be dismissed as a potential winner either. He is older and more experienced than the American (34 fights against 13 for Reyes), also armed with a streak of three consecutive wins. So Błachowicz is perfectly capable of concluding his career in quite a spectacular way, taking the championship belt with him. He's got thirteen years of experience and only 8 defeats. The encounters with diverse opponents made him a versatile fighter, with a skill set honed for victories.
