Jan Blachowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev purse, salaries: How much money will they make at UFC 282?

Now main eventing UFC 282, Jan Blachowicz is ready to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight title. He faces off against the dangerous Magomed Ankalaev on December 10 for the vacant title.

The fight takes place inside Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. Blachowicz and Ankalaev will be fighting for gold after champion Jiri Prochazka relinquished the belt after suffering an injury. Prochazka was originally supposed to defend the belt in a rematch against Glover Teixeira.

On the plane to Las Vegas when the news broke, Blachowicz will now be preparing for a last-minute five-round affair.

“That was the craziest several hours ever. I left Warsaw to take part in the eliminator match, and a few hours later I’ve arrived as a title challenger. I’m ready. Keep fingers crossed. @jiri_bjp – huge respect for your conduct! Get well! #UFC282”

Blachowicz won the UFC light heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes in 2020. After losing the belt against Teixeira in 2021, his last fight was a TKO win in May over Aleksandar Rakic.
