Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz is hoping to regain that legendary Polish power with the help of a second shoulder surgery procedure.
Blachowicz was forced to pull out of a fight with Aleksandar Rakic in December 2023 after the strength in his arms decreased to the point where he felt “like a two-year-old girl.” A few weeks later he was on the operating table, where surgeons were set to operate on both of his shoulders. Unfortunately it took them so long to fix the right shoulder that they had to leave the left one for another date.
Three months later, and that date has finally arrived.
“It is what it is… Going under the knife again,” Blachowicz wrote on Instagram. “It’s time for the surgery of the other shoulder … Keep your fingers crossed! With the first shoulder it helped.”
a fight Jan still believes he won.
Hopefully with these surgeries and time off, the 41-year-old Blachowicz can make a splash in the division one more time.
