Originally slated for UFC 266 on September 5th. -- the matchup of Blachowicz and Teixeira, as well as the pay-per-view showcase was then delayed to September 25th. -- as the promotion attempt to secure a UFC Fight Night return to London, England for the first time since March of 2019 amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Attempting to score the second successful defence of his light heavyweight championship, Blachowicz, a former KSW light heavyweight gold holder, headlined UFC 259 in March against current middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya -- taking home a unanimous decision victory.

The win came as the Polish veteran's fifth consecutively, following a title-clinching win against Dominick Reyes last October in Abu Dhabi, to go with stoppages over Bellator light heavyweight contender, Corey Anderson, as well as former middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold, and a split decision win over UFC alum, Ronaldo Souza. 

For Minas Gerais veteran, Teixeira, the division mainstay's second title challenge under the UFC's banner will have to wait a month longer, as he looks to record his sixth straight win and finally claim the light heavyweight championship. 

The 41-year-old Brazilian recently dispatched one-time title challengers, Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith, to go with triumphs against Nikita Krylov, Ion Cutelaba, and Karl Roberson.
