As we approach UFC Fight Night 255 in London, the co-main event between Jan Blachowicz and Carlos Ulberg is set to captivate audiences. Despite being the underdog, Blachowicz has the tools to outmaneuver Ulberg. The Polish veteran's extensive experience in high-stakes fights, coupled with his well-rounded skillset, makes him a formidable opponent. Blachowicz has shown remarkable resilience and tactical prowess throughout his career, often turning the tide in his favor when the odds are against him.

Blachowicz's wrestling skills could be the key to victory. He has successfully controlled elite strikers like Israel Adesanya in the past, and his ability to secure takedowns could disrupt Ulberg's striking rhythm. While Ulberg is known for his knockout power and recent win streak, his endurance in prolonged battles remains untested. If Blachowicz can extend the fight, he may exploit Ulberg's potential vulnerabilities in stamina. Additionally, Blachowicz's strategic striking could counter Ulberg's aggressive but sometimes reckless approach. With his experience and tactical acumen, Blachowicz has a strong chance to upset the favored Ulberg, making him a compelling underdog pick for this weekend's fight.

As the MMA world converges on London for UFC Fight Night 255, the co-main event between Carlos Ulberg and Jan Blachowicz promises to be a thrilling clash of styles. Ulberg, riding a seven-fight win streak, is in the best form of his career, having recently defeated Volkan Oezdemir via unanimous decision. His knockout power, evident in his ability to finish fights quickly, will be a significant threat to Blachowicz. Ulberg's youth and agility also give him an edge in terms of endurance, allowing him to maintain a high pace throughout the fight

Ulberg's technical striking and footwork will enable him to evade Blachowicz's powerful shots and dictate the pace of the fight. While Blachowicz has a storied career with notable victories, his recent layoff and age may hinder his performance against a younger, hungrier opponent. Ulberg's takedown defense is also impressive, with an 83% success rate, which could limit Blachowicz's wrestling opportunities. Given these factors, Ulberg is well-positioned to secure a victory, potentially by decision if he can avoid Blachowicz's early power and maintain his pace throughout the fight.
