Blachowicz will undergo a second operation

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Blachowicz said that he had surgery on his right shoulder, but that he would go under the knife again in the near future.

“The first shoulder has been operated on. Unfortunately, there was too much work to do with that shoulder, so they weren’t able to fix both of them at once. Another operation coming soon. We'll have to wait a little longer to return. Merry Christmas everyone!” Blachowicz wrote in X.

Let us remember that Blachowicz last performed in July at UFC 291, losing by split decision to Alex Pereira. On January 20 at UFC 297, the Pole was supposed to have a rematch with Aleksandar Rakic, but due to the mentioned health problems he withdrew from the fight.
