Overview
- The UFC announced on Friday that Jan Blachowicz and Bogdan Guskov will rematch on Aug. 1, 2026 at UFC Belgrade in Belgrade Arena.
- Their first meeting in December 2025 ended in a majority draw that featured two 10‑8 scores for Guskov and left the matchup unresolved.
- Blachowicz withdrew from a May rematch at UFC 328 after tearing a meniscus and has since undergone treatment that cleared the way for an August return.
- Blachowicz is ranked No. 4 and Guskov No. 10 in the division, so the winner stands to move closer to title contention while the loser risks falling in the pecking order.
- UFC Belgrade is the promotion’s first event in Serbia and the card also includes heavyweight debuts and local headliners that raise the show’s profile.
