The co-main event at UFC Fight Night 255 at London’s O2 Arena will see Jan Blachowicz face off against Carlos Ulberg in the light heavyweight division. ‘John’ has a pro record of 29-10-1, while the Black Jag is 12-1-0. Check out our match prediction below!
One month after his 42nd birthday, Jan Blachowicz is set to return to the Octagon for the first time since July 2023, when he was beaten by a split decision by Alex Pereira at UFC 291.
While John’s previous fight ended in a majority draw against then-titleholder Magomed Ankalaev, the closeness of the results illustrates that the Pole can go toe-to-toe with the best.
Blachowicz has won nine fights by KO/TKO, nine by submission and 11 on decision. He has lost two fights by KO/TKO, two by submission and six via decision.
Meanwhile, Carlos Ulberg, who is nine years younger than his upcoming opponent, is one of the brightest rising stars in the franchise, with this being his ninth fight in the UFC.
The Black Jag has been surging up the ranks, now #6 in the division and riding a seven-fight win streak after a unanimous decision victory over Volkan Oezdemir in November 2023.
Across his pro-MMA career since transforming from a specialist kickboxer, Ulberg has won seven by KO/TKO, one by submission and three by decision, while his one defeat came via KO/TKO.

Our Jan Blachowicz vs Carlos Ulberg Prediction
Blachowicz is as tough as they come, but there’s no telling what condition the Pole is in, having sat on the outskirts since sustaining an injury against Pereira at UFC 291 back in mid-2023.
Ulberg, on the other hand, is arguably in the form of his life at this moment and has shown that he possesses deadly knockout power by flattening Alonzo Menified in just 12 seconds. The Kiwian is also much younger than his opponent and should be able to last the distance if needed. Our Jan Blachowicz vs Carlos Ulberg prediction is Carlos Ulberg wins the match.
