Two
Ultimate Fighting Championship title fights are cleared for
UFC 267.
The main event will see Jan
Blachowicz looking to defend his light heavyweight gold against
Glover
Teixeira. Meanwhile, Petr Yan and
Cory
Sandhagen will fight for the interim bantamweight title while
Aljamain
Sterling recovers from surgery. While all four fighters vying
for championships made weight, Damir
Ismagulov unprofessionally came in 7.5 pounds over the
lightweight limit for his bout against Magomed
Mustafaev and Khamzat
Chimaev initially weighed-in .5 pounds over the welterweight
limit but hit 171 pounds on his second attempt.
Blachowicz (28-8) is currently on a five-fight win streak and is
coming off a successful defense of his 205-pound title against
middleweight king Israel
Adesanya. The 38-year-old has shown plenty of Polish power by
knocking out Dominick
Reyes, Corey
Anderson and Luke
Rockhold in recent bouts. The champion officially weighed 205
pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, this title shot is a long time coming for Teixeira
(32-7). The 42-year-old Brazilian is also riding a five-fight win
streak. The veteran fighter most recently finished off Anthony
Smith with punches and submitted Thiago
Santos with a rear-naked choke. The challenger also stepped on
the scale at 205 pounds.
The co-main event will see Yan (15-2) look to regain bantamweight
gold against Sandhagen (14-3). Yan is coming off a disqualification
defeat against Sterling after landing an illegal knee and was
previously undefeated inside the UFC. Conversely, “Sandman” had put
together wins over Frankie
Edgar and Marlon
Moraes before losing a contested split decision against
T.J.
Dillashaw. Both fighters weighed in at 135 pounds exactly.
UFC 267 will stream live on ESPN+. The prelims begin at 10:30 a.m.
ET/7:30 a.m. ET while the main card begins at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m.
