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 mild 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 end result.
“This camp was probably the greatest I’ve had. I missed this, each a part of this recreation. The welcome and assist throughout struggle week UFC London from the entire UFC crew was superb – I knew you missed me, however I didn’t understand it was like this! Thanks!
“Extra controversy on the document, because it seems the strategy to important 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 occurring on-line proper now, is fairly telling I respect it, however the verdict is on the market, and sadly, it’s going to keep on my document. We preserve transferring ahead, going for extra. Your assist has been big, 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 exhausting to inform whether or not followers had been extra upset in regards to the lackluster struggle than in regards to the choice. MMA media was split on the decision as well, 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 mild heavyweights on the earth — now finds himself well-outside the 205-pound title image.
