A pivotal rematch between two top light heavyweight contenders will headline the UFC’s first trip to New Mexico since 2014.
Corey Anderson (13-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) takes on Jan Blachowicz (25-8 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in the UFC on ESPN+ 25 main event, which could determine who gets the next shot at the 205-pound title.
The two first met at UFC 191 in 2015, when Anderson defeated Blachowicz in a lopsided unanimous decision.
Over four years later, Anderson is enjoying the best run of his UFC career, having won his last four in a row. He is coming off a first-round TKO over the highly touted Johnny Walker at UFC 244.
Blachowicz also has picked up two of his most notable wins, knocking out former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold followed by a split decision win over “Jacare” Souza last November.
In the co-main event, New Mexico’s own and fan favorite Diego Sanchez (29-12 MMA, 18-12 UFC) will take on Brazil’s Michel Pereira (23-10 MMA, 1-1 UFC).

Max Holloway’s coach believes Ilia Topuria’s style works in their favor. Holloway (26-7 MMA, 22-7 UFC) captured the BMF title with a last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje in their lightweight bout at UFC 300.
