Jan Błachowicz

Growing up in Cieszyn, Poland, Błachowicz started training martial arts – initially judo at the age of nine – due to the influence of action movies, he also did grappling, muay thai (where he achieved 34 wins) and won tournaments in both sports before transitioning into mixed martial arts.{{cite podcast|url=https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvODIwZjA5Y2YtMmFjZS00MTgwLWE5MmQtYWE0YzAwMDhmNWZiLzRhOTE3OWNmLWIzZjctNDZlMS04MzQ5LWFhNGMwMTc2YWQ3MC8wNDczYjI4YS02MDhkLTRiNTItOTRkYi1hYTRjMDE3NmFkNzQvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M/episode/ZDY4OThhNmItNTE3NS00NTFjLThhZDItYWM1MjAxNjcyZGM1|title=Jan Blachowicz Responds to Israel Adesanya, Talks Jon Jones, "Polish Power", Khabib/Gaethje UFC 254|date=October 13, 2020}}

Błachowicz entered in KSWs inaugural <95 kg (209 lb) Tournament at KSW 9. Defeating three opponents in one night, Błachowicz was able to claim the tournament crown. His first opponent was Martin Zawada, who he defeated by unanimous decision. Błachowicz was able to defeat his next two opponents by armbar, including the notable opponent Antoni Chmielewski.{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/The-Year-in-European-MMA-15780|title=The Year In European MMA|publisher=sherdog.com|date=January 15, 2009}}

Błachowicz went on to defeat Christian M'Pumbu four months later via armbar, before defeating previously unbeaten Maro Perak in December 2008.

Looking to expand his horizons after the very successful year 2008, Błachowicz accepted the invitation of Tomasz Drwal and joined him at the Throwdown Training Center in San Diego for a few months. He agreed to temporarily fight at Heavyweight, against Lloyd Marshbanks under the War Gods banner, but the event was canceled. Despite suffering a serious knee injury in July, Błachowicz continued his training, as he agreed to fight "somewhere in Mexico". About three weeks later, his knee suddenly popped in training when executing a takedown. The anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee was destroyed, making a knee reconstruction after his return to Poland inevitable.

Błachowicz was planning his comeback fight in March against Aleksandar Radosavljevic at WFC 10, but decided to withdraw and was replaced by fellow KSW TEAM member Antoni Chmielewski. After finally returning from the knee injury and 17 months layoff, Błachowicz entered into the second KSW <95 kg tournament. Błachowicz had to face two opponents in the same night. His first opponent was the undefeated Brazilian Julio Brutus. Błachowicz was able to knock Brutus out with a high kick-right hook combination at 3:40 in the first round. In the semifinal, Błachowicz submitted his training partner Wojciech Orłowski with a rear-naked choke after just 1:37.{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Khalidov-Sakurai-Draw-Pudzianowski-Outpoints-Kawaguchi-24331|title=Khalidov, Sakurai Draw; Pudzianowski Outpoints Kawaguchi|publisher=sherdog.com|date=May 7, 2010}}

In the meantime, Błachowicz took a fight on a few days notice against Nikolai Onikienko and submitted him in the second round.

He then faced Daniel Tabera in the final of the tournament at KSW XIV, winning via TKO in the second round and becoming once again the KSW Light Heavyweight Tournament Champion.

Błachowicz then faced Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou for the vacant KSW Light Heavyweight Championship at KSW XV. He lost the fight via TKO, being unable to answer the bell for the third round because of his injured leg.{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Khalidov-Armbars-Irvin-Sokoudjou-Blasts-Blachowicz-at-KSW-15-30947|title=Khalidov armbars Irvin, Sokoudjou blasts Błachowicz|publisher=sherdog.com|date=March 19, 2011}}

Błachowicz had a rematch with Sokoudjou at KSW XVII. He won the bout via unanimous decision to become the new KSW Light Heavyweight Champion. His next three fights in KSW were against Mario Miranda, Houston Alexander and Goran Reljic, and all three he won by unanimous decision.

In January 2014, after completing a 17–3 record on the European scene, Błachowicz signed a contract to fight in the light heavyweight division of the UFC.{{cite web|url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/1/31/5365118/ufc-signs-polish-light-heavyweight-jan-blachowicz-and-israeli-featherweight-noad-lahat-mma-news|title=UFC signs Polish light heavyweight Jan Blachowicz and Israeli featherweight Noad Lahat|publisher=bloodyelbow.com|date=January 31, 2014|access-date=March 20, 2014|archive-date=February 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190224115805/https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/1/31/5365118/ufc-signs-polish-light-heavyweight-jan-blachowicz-and-israeli-featherweight-noad-lahat-mma-news|url-status=dead}}

Błachowicz is a close friend of former UFC fighter Tomasz Drwal. They were training together at the Throwdown Training Center in San Diego when he suffered his knee injury in 2009.

Some time ago he moved to Warsaw with his girlfriend, changing his long-time club Octagon Rybnik to Paweł Nastula's club. He also occasionally trains in Alliance MMA with names such as Alexander Gustafsson, Phil Davis, Joey Beltran, and Dominick Cruz.{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/Sherdog-Prospect-Watch-Jan-Blachowicz-26945|title=Sherdog prospect watch - Jan Błachowicz|publisher=sherdog.com|date=September 17, 2010}}
