A highly anticipated middleweight championship fight and a battle for the vacant light heavyweight championship will headline UFC 253 on Sept. 26. A location for the event has not yet been confirmed, with rumors stating the UFC APEX in Las Vegas and Fight Island in Abu Dhabi are both in play. In the co-main event, Jan Blachowicz and Dominick Reyes will battle for the vacant light heavyweight title. Jon Jones recently vacated the title as he plans his move up to the heavyweight division, leaving the top contenders to square off to crown a new champion. Reyes is coming off a controversial decision loss to Jones, suffering the first defeat of his career in the process. Blachowicz is on a three-fight winning streak, most recently knocking out Corey Anderson.
