Overview
- Jan Blachowicz, who disclosed Saturday on Instagram that he tore his meniscus, has pulled out of his May 9 rematch with Bogdan Guskov at UFC 328.
- He said the knee injury happened in the last round of sparring when a kick landed in a bad position, and he vowed to return after rehab.
- The UFC has not announced whether Guskov will get a short-notice replacement or if the matchup will be rescheduled for a later date.
- The Newark event still features two title fights, headlined by Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland at middleweight with Joshua Van vs Tatsuro Taira at flyweight.
- The injury likely sidelines the 43-year-old for months, with typical meniscus recovery estimated at two to six months, and it follows a recent run of neck and shoulder issues that have limited his activity.
