A Draw In The Main Event Leaves Jan Blachowicz Titleless
2 years agoWe entered UFC 282 on Saturday without a light-heavyweight champion, and we exited the night the same way. In the night's main event, which ideally was set to crown a new champion, it was ruled a draw between former champion Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev. In the main card's only decision, the scorecards were all over the place with a 48-47, 46-48, 47-47 finish. In 25 minutes of action, Blachowicz tallied only 55 significant strikes (79 total strikes) compared to that of Ankalaev's 78 significant strikes (191 total strikes). It looks like the UFC is moving on from this as being a rematch, with a new vacant title match already set for UFC 283 next month.
