Jan Blachowicz now believes his UFC 282 title fight against Magomed Ankalaev was scored correctly.
Blachowicz (29-9-1 MMA, 12-6-1 UFC) and Ankalaev (18-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) fought for the vacant light heavyweight crown in this past Saturday’s headliner at T-Mobile Arena. It was ruled a split draw, meaning neither fighter walked away with the belt. Blachowicz pointed to Ankalaev as the scorecards were being read, implying that Ankalaev should’ve gotten his hand raised.
In his post-fight interview, Blachowicz was put on the spot by Joe Rogan, who appeared to press him to say that he thought Ankalaev won the fight. While Ankalaev was visibly upset with the result, Blachowicz said Monday morning on Twitter that he didn’t think he won or lost.
