At UFC 239, Luke Rockhold’s move up to 205 pounds will be official as he’ll be fighting Jan Blachowicz in Las Vegas on July 6.
Since dropping the UFC middleweight championship to Michael Bisping at UFC 199, Rockhold has been a mixed bag inside the octagon. His last bout against Yoel Romero resulted in a loss via TKO last February at UFC 221. Rockhold’s professional MMA record currently stands at 16 wins and 4 losses.
Blachowicz is also coming off a loss against Thiago Santos back in February. Before his bout against the Brazilian native, Blachowicz was on a four-fight win streak with victories over Nikita Krylov, Jimi Manuwa, Jared Cannonier, and Devin Clark. The light heavyweight’s professional MMA record currently stands at 23 wins and 8 losses.
UFC 239 will also feature fights between Francis Ngannou and Junior dos Santos, and Diego Sanchez and Michael Chiesa, which were made official on Wednesday.
