Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz, and top contender Magomed Ankalaev are scheduled to collide at UFC 282 on December 10 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Reporter Meni Mayer was the first to report the news of the matchup being in the works via an Instagram post, although the promotion itself has yet to officially announce anything regarding the booking. Blachowicz is 6-1 in his last seven Octagon outings and is coming off of a third-round TKO victory over Aleksandar Rakić at UFC Vegas 54. Ankalaev meanwhile is currently riding a nine-fight winning streak and will look to build on a second-round TKO win over former UFC title challenger, Anthony Smith, at UFC 277.
