Ulberg Beats Błachowicz at UFC London
Jan Błachowicz returned to action against Carlos Ulberg at the March 22, 2025, London event. Before the fight, Blachowicz said improving his cardio was a priority after his breathing became heavy in the July 2023 bout with Alex Pereira. He had been out since that split-decision loss.
Ulberg arrived on a seven-fight winning streak. He defeated Błachowicz by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the light heavyweight bout 29-28. The official London scorecards record the result.
The London co-main event
The matchup took place at The O2 as the co-main event of the card headed by Leon Edwards and Sean Brady. Błachowicz was returning after a lengthy absence, while Ulberg was trying to extend the strongest run of his UFC career against a former light heavyweight champion.
The contest was fought largely at striking range. Błachowicz used leg kicks to work at Ulberg’s lead side, while Ulberg answered with his jab and movement. Neither fighter secured a finish, leaving the outcome to the three judges after fifteen minutes. Their identical 29–28 totals gave Ulberg the unanimous decision.
What the result meant
The victory extended Ulberg’s winning streak to eight fights at the time. For Błachowicz, it marked an unsuccessful return after the Pereira defeat. The result belongs to the March 2025 stage of both careers, with Ulberg moving forward in the division and Błachowicz completing his first competitive appearance since July 2023.
