Overview

  • Multiple MMA outlets report the matchup is expected for Nov. 22 at Doha’s Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah (ABHA) Arena on the UFC’s Qatar debut card.
  • Social posts fueled the news cycle, with Jan Błachowicz sharing a contract-signing clip and Guskov’s manager indicating the two will meet next.
  • Guskov enters as the No. 10 light heavyweight on a four-fight finishing streak, highlighted by a first-round knockout of Nikita Krylov in July.
  • Błachowicz, 42, is reported as the division’s No. 5 contender and is coming off a razor-thin decision loss to Carlos Ulberg in March after shoulder surgeries and a long layoff.
  • Guskov is 18-3 with all wins by stoppage, while Błachowicz is 29-11-1 with 18 finishes, and a booking would give the former champ a second fight in 2025 for the first time since 2022.
