A ranked light heavyweight clash pits #4 Jan Blachowicz's long reach and deep record against the younger, hungrier #10 Bogdan Guskov atop the Belgrade card.
UFC Fight Night lands in Belgrade Arena on August 1, and the light heavyweight main event is a genuine test of experience versus momentum. In one corner stands Jan Blachowicz of Poland, ranked #4 at 205 pounds with a long, well-traveled record of 29-11-2. In the other is Uzbekistan’s Bogdan Guskov, nicknamed “Czarevitch,” ranked #10 and carrying an 18-3-1 ledger. This is the classic setup for building your grid: a proven name higher on the ladder against a climber trying to leap several rungs at once.
The numbers hand the Pole a few clear advantages. He is ranked six spots higher, at #4 to Guskov’s #10, which is the single biggest signal of where the division currently rates these two. His record spans 42 professional fights compared to Guskov’s 22 — that is a mountain of experience, rounds, and shared cages against high-level opposition. And despite giving up an inch in height, Blachowicz owns the longer wingspan at 78 inches to 76, a two-inch reach edge that matters in a striking-heavy division where measuring your opponent from distance can decide exchanges. Both men fight from an Orthodox stance, so there is no southpaw-versus-orthodox riddle to solve — this is a straight-line duel of like styles.
Youth is the Czarevitch’s loudest argument. At 33, he is a full decade younger than the 43-year-old Blachowicz, and in a five-round main event, fresher legs and recovery can tell a story of their own. Guskov is also fractionally the taller man at 6’3", so even conceding reach, he will not be looking up at his opponent. His 18-3-1 record shows a fighter who has lost sparingly, and climbing to #10 means he has already beaten the gatekeepers standing between him and the names above.
The drama here is the trade-off between mileage and freshness. Blachowicz brings the ranking, the reach, and the deeper resume; Guskov brings ten fewer years on the clock and a shorter, cleaner record. Does the veteran’s know-how and #4 pedigree hold, or does the younger man’s timing and durability tilt it? With both in Orthodox stances, watch how each manages the two-inch reach gap — whether Blachowicz keeps it long or Guskov closes the distance and makes his slight height count.
This is a main event that rewards a confident pick. Weigh the ranking and reach against the ten-year age gap, then lock in your grid — who takes the Belgrade headliner?
