UFC 267 — Jan Blachowicz vs. Glover Teixeira: Fight card, date, odds, rumors, location, complete guide

The latest numbered UFC event is fast approaching. UFC 267 is set to hit Fight Island in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, Oct. 30 with a pair of title fights atop the marquee. The light heavyweight title will be on the line when champion Jan Blachowicz looks to defend against veteran and long-time title hopeful Glover Teixeira. The interim bantamweight title is on the line in the co-main event when former champ Petr Yan takes on Cory Sandhagen. Yan dropped the belt to Aljamain Sterling with a blatant foul that led to a DQ earlier this year and Sterling was deemed medically unfit to compete on this card after undergoing neck surgery.

At 41 years old and more than seven years removed from his previous shot at UFC gold, Teixeira is an unlikely title challenger. Still, a five-fight winning streak that includes two wins over former title challengers has made him as strong a contender at 205 pounds as is available in the division’s post-Jon Jones era.

Blachowicz has proven himself a legitimate champion, first winning the vacant title against Dominick Reyes and then defending the title against middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. In both of those title fights, Blachowicz entered the Octagon as the underdog. That will not be the case against Teixeira.

The action goes down on Oct. 30 from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. It is a rare UFC “numbered” event that will air as a non-pay-per-view event. Below is the most recent announced fight card with bout order still to be determined. Latest odds via Caesars Sportsbook.
