Jan Blachowicz isn’t saying he was robbed at UFC London, however he’s not not saying it both.
This previous Saturday, Blachowicz squared off with Carlos Ulberg within the co-main occasion of UFC London. It was an in depth affair with neither fighter doing an excessive amount of to say themselves over the quarter-hour, however in the end all three judges noticed it 29-28 for Ulberg. It’s a troublesome loss for the previous gentle heavyweight champion, who has now did not get his hand raised in his previous three fights, and whereas he didn’t outright dispute the choice, in a press release launched on Monday, Blachowicz threw some shade at Saturday’s final result.
“This camp was the most effective I’ve had. I missed this, each a part of this sport. The welcome and assist throughout battle week UFC London from the entire UFC group was wonderful – I knew you missed me, however I didn’t realize it was like this! Thanks!
“Extra controversy on the file, because it seems the method to important strikes doesn’t align with the precise which means. I’ll go away the decision for dialogue. What occurred within the stands after the announcement, and what’s taking place on-line proper now, is fairly telling I admire it, however the verdict is on the market, and sadly, it should keep on my file. We hold shifting ahead, going for extra. Your assist has been large, and I’ll keep in mind this second for a very long time #TeamJanek #LegendaryPolishPower”
There definitely was some fan backlash on Saturday after the bout, although it’s arduous to inform whether or not followers have been extra upset concerning the lackluster battle than concerning the determination. MMA media was break up on the choice as properly, with most favoring Ulberg. That’s all little consolation to Blachowicz who, regardless of giving aggressive performances towards Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira — the 2 prime gentle heavyweights on the planet — now finds himself well-outside the 205-pound title image.
