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 claim themselves over the quarter-hour, however finally all three judges noticed it 29-28 for Ulberg. It’s a troublesome loss for the previous gentle heavyweight champion, who has now didn’t get his hand raised in his previous three fights, and whereas he didn’t outright dispute the choice, in an announcement launched on Monday, Blachowicz threw some shade at Saturday’s end result.
“This camp was among the best I’ve had. I missed this, each a part of this sport. The welcome and help throughout struggle week UFC London from the entire UFC group was superb – I knew you missed me, however I didn’t realize it was like this! Thanks!
“Extra controversy on the file, because it seems the strategy to vital strikes doesn’t align with the precise that 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 is going to keep on my file. We hold shifting ahead, going for extra. Your help has been big, and I’ll bear 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 onerous to inform whether or not followers had been extra upset in regards to the lackluster struggle than in regards to the determination. MMA media was cut up on the choice as effectively, with most favoring Ulberg. That’s all little consolation to Blachowicz who, regardless of giving aggressive performances in opposition to Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira — the 2 high gentle heavyweights on this planet — now finds himself well-outside the 205-pound title image.
