Jan Blachowicz ’s next title defense is set for this fall. The UFC light heavyweight champion, Blachowicz (28-8 MMA, 11-5 UFC) will meet Glover Teixeira (32-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) at UFC 266 on Sept. 4, Dana White revealed Wednesday to the promotion’s broadcast partner, ESPN . No venue or location has been announced for the event, nor have any additional fights been announced. Poland’s Blachowicz will seek his second title defense. After he claimed the vacant 205-pound title with a second-round knockout of Dominick Reyes at UFC 253 in September, Blachowicz successfully defended his title for the first time against middleweight champ Israel Adesanya at UFC 259
