Jan Blachowicz meets Devin Clark at October's UFC Fight Night event in Gdansk

One of Poland’s standouts in the light heavyweight division will compete in his home country later this year when Jan Blachowicz meets Devin Clarkat UFC Fight Night in Gdansk.

UFC officials today announced the bout between Blachowicz (19-7 MMA, 2-4 UFC) and Clark (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC).

UFC Fight Night in Gdansk, Poland, takes place Oct. 21 at Ergo Arena. The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass.

Blachowicz has fallen on hard times as of late. After winning his UFC debut in October 2014 to improve to 14-1 in a 15-fight stretch, the tide has turned for Blachowicz, who has dropped four of his past five contests.

Although Blachowicz only has lost to ranked opponents in Patrick Cummins, Alexander Gustafsson, Corey Anderson and Jimi Manuwa, the fact he’s won just once in three years could have his UFC roster spot in jeopardy.

Devin Clark

Clark, meanwhile, will be seeking his third consecutive win under the UFC banner. After losing his debut to Alex Nicholson at middleweight at UFC Fight Night 91 in July 2017, “Brown Bear” opted to move up to the 205-pound division, and the results have paid off.

Since changing weight classes, Clark has pulled off unanimous decision wins over Jake Collier and Josh Stansbury. The 27-year-old will next look to add a signature win to his resume against Blachowicz.
