An epic rematch was meant to take place at UFC 282 between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira. Now, following an injury to the former, two top contenders will battle to determine a UFC light heavyweight champion on December 10.
Jan Blachowicz faces Magomed Ankalaev for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title. Prochazka, who injured his shoulder wrestling, vacated the belt to not hold up the division. Blachowicz, ranked second in the UFC's light heavyweight rankings, and Anakalev, ranked third, was moved up to the top billing spot after initially serving as the co-main event.
UFC 282 takes place inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
