Staredowns! Jan Blachowicz and Aleksander Rakic mash faces at UFC Vegas 54 weigh-ins

Jan Blachowicz and Aleksander Rakic got as close as close gets during the UFC Vegas 54 weigh-in staredowns, pressing their faces together as they locked eyes in an intense face-off. Things didn’t get out of control as Blachowicz established nostril dominance over Rakic, pressing his opponent’s nose to the side.

Blachowicz and Rakic are set to fight in the main event of UFC Vegas 54 on Saturday (May 14, 2022) inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
