Jan Blachowicz is set to face Alex Pereira in the co-main event of UFC 291 on July 29. This bout carries great importance as the victor will likely contend for the vacant UFC light heavyweight championship. The event will be held at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Their upcoming bout will be the third instance where the Polish native faces a former or current UFC middleweight champion. So far, he has emerged victorious on both previous occasions. He secured a knockout win against Luke Rockhold at UFC 239 and successfully defended his light heavyweight title against Israel Adesanya at UFC 259.

Recently, Bloody Elbow shared on Twitter some old photos of Jan Blachowicz without his usual bearded look.

Jan Blachowicz considers the option of wrestling Alex Pereira

Jan Blachowicz showcased his dependable grappling skills in his bout against Israel Adesanya. However, Blachowicz has consistently expressed his intention to focus on stand-up striking in his upcoming fight against Alex Pereira.

During his appearance on Michael Bisping's Believe You Me podcast, Blachowicz explored the potential of wrestling 'Poatan' at UFC 291:

"I am stand-up fighter and I like fighting stand-up, so I have to check my stand-up against someone like Pereira. But if I don't feel good, if I take some punches, for sure I'm gonna use wrestling and take him down because also, I'm not stupid. I know what I have to do to win this fight and I use all my tools to do it."
