Insider info
Jan Blachowicz favored over Navajo Stirling lean UFC Fight Night: Medic vs Rodriguez · July 26, 2026
strikingsolid
Picked as the veteran giving a 'vet lesson', with an explicit acknowledgment he could be wrong given the long layoff.
A grizzled veteran on a rough recent stretch (1-2-2 in his last five) whom the analyst still credits with a case for being competitive in nearly all of those losses. Good leg and body kicks -- the ones that hurt Dominick Reyes are cited specifically -- plus a good check kick. Tight defense and real durability, evidenced by winning two of three rounds against a tough opponent even after being dropped once. On the mat, decent takedowns and good top pressure when he lands there.
