The Octagon returns to Nevada for tonight’s UFC 282 event, a twelve-bout fight card headlined by Jan B\u0142achowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s event was originally slated to be headlined by a light heavyweight title fight rematch between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira. However, the Czech fighter suffered a severe shoulder injury<\/a> and was forced to withdraw from the matchup.<\/p>\n

With that, the UFC promoted Jan B\u0142achowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev to main event status, with the vacant light heavyweight title up for grabs.<\/p>\n

Blachowicz (29-9 MMA), a former light heavyweight champion, is coming off a third-round TKO victory over Aleksandar Raki\u0107 in his most recent effort this past May.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Magomed Ankalaev (18-1 MMA) will enter tonight’s main event<\/a> sporting a nine-fight winning streak, his latest being a TKO victory over Anthony Smith at UFC 277.<\/p>\n

UFC 282 is co-headlined by a lightweight matchup featuring fan favorite Paddy Pimblett taking on Jared Gordon.<\/p>\n

\"Paddy<\/p>\n

Pimblett (19-3 MMA) has gone 3-0 since joining the UFC ranks in September of 2021. During that stretch ‘The Baddy’ has scored stoppage wins over Luigi Vendramini, Rodrigo Vargas and Jordan Leavitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for Jared Gordon (19-5 MMA), the American is coming off a unanimous decision win over former TUF Brazil winner Leonardo Santos in his most recent effort at UFC 278. ‘Flash’ has gone 4-1 over his past five fights overall.<\/p>\n

Also featured on tonight’s main event lineup is a middleweight matchup between Darren Till and Dricus du Plessis.<\/p>\n

Till (18-4-1 MMA) will enter the contest looking to snap a two-fight losing skid. The Liverpool native suffered a submission loss to Derek Brunson<\/a> in his most recent Octagon<\/a> appearance back in September of 2021.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dricus du Plessis (17-2 MMA) enters UFC 282 sporting a five-fight winning streak, his latest being a unanimous decision win over Brad Tavares back at UFC 276. The South African has gone a perfect 3-0 since joining the UFC ranks in October of 2020.<\/p>\n
