Fact check on Jan Blachowicz’s knockout

Well, a closer look at the video suggests the allegation is likely untrue. The man in the video appeared to be younger, slimmer, and with definitely less fighting experience and physical presence than a UFC light heavyweight like Jan Blachowicz. The 42-year-old remains active in the UFC and is now training for a significant fight, so now, he won’t be getting knocked out by an amateur when he is all fight-ready.

‘John’ is set to face Bogdan Guskov on November 22, 2025, at UFC Fight Night in Qatar. Both fighters are hoping to make major statements in the light heavyweight division, with Blachowicz ranked #5 and returning from a string of injuries and recent losses. His most recent fight was against Carlos Ulberg on March 22, 2025, at UFC London, where he lost by a close unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring it 29-28.

As for his injuries, he had to undergo surgery to fix both his shoulders, and if his last fight was any indication, he would require some more training to get back to his old fighting rhythm. And that is where his next fight comes in. As he goes one-on-one with Guskov, who is ranked #10 and on a four-fight winning streak, the fight offers him yet another challenge that’ll bring him all the limelight he seeks with one brutal win.
