One judge had it for Guskov, one had it for Jan, and one called it dead even. That's the kind of fight that leaves everyone wanting more, and now we're getting the rematch just four months later. Fans are still debating who really took that first one.\n\nGuskov's been on an absolute tear since joining the UFC. He finished three straight fights before that draw with Jan, putting away Zac Pauga, Ryan Spann, and Nikita Krylov. That knockout of Krylov in Abu Dhabi was nasty, ground and pound that had everyone talking. The Uzbek fighter's got serious power and he's not afraid to get dirty on the mat. That draw might've slowed his momentum, but he's still riding a four fight unbeaten streak.\n\nJan's in a weird spot right now. He's a former champ who's gone 1-2-2 in his last five, with draws against both Guskov and Magomed Ankalaev in that title fight back in 2022. The loss to Carlos Ulberg in London earlier in 2025 stung, and at 42 years old, people are wondering how much he's got left. But this is still the guy who headlined his own card against Rakic and got that TKO win when Aleksandar's knee gave out.\n\nIn their first meeting, Jan landed 100 strikes to Guskov's 98, but Guskov controlled over four minutes of cage time. That's the story right there. Jan's the more technical striker with better boxing fundamentals, but Guskov's the younger, hungrier guy who keeps the pressure on and makes it ugly when he needs to.\n\nUPD (5th of April): This rematch comes together quick, just four months after their controversial draw. Both fighters know exactly what the other brings now, so expect adjustments and a clearer result this time around.\n\nUPD (5th of April): The light heavyweight division is watching this one closely. With Jan's legacy on the line and Guskov trying to break into title contention, somebody needs to make a statement and leave no doubt with the judges.","key_storylines":["Immediate rematch after controversial majority draw in December","Guskov riding three straight finishes before the Jan stalemate","Former champ Jan searching for answers at 42 years old"],"finishing_window":"If Guskov can get Jan down and start landing ground strikes like he did against Krylov, the finish could come in rounds two or three when fatigue sets in."},"advantages":{"striking":{"advantage":"Bogdan Guskov","difference":"21.2%","values":{"fighter1":3.44,"fighter2":4.17}},"grappling":{"advantage":"Jan Blachowicz","difference":"Infinity%","values":{"fighter1":1.03,"fighter2":0}},"defense":{"advantage":"Jan Blachowicz","difference":"21.1%","values":{"fighter1":69,"fighter2":57}}},"prediction_factors":["Statistical analysis","Fighting style matchup","Recent performance trends","Physical advantages","Historical data patterns"]},"related_links":{"fighter1_profile":"https://agentmma.com/fighters/5135-jan-blachowicz","fighter2_profile":"https://agentmma.com/fighters/6577-bogdan-guskov","all_articles":"https://agentmma.com/articles"}}
