UFC 282 on Dec. 10 had it all: Exciting finishes, rising stars, a title fight, and a couple of judge-related controversies.
An exciting card ended with a pair of fights where judging made the headlines: Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz fighting to a split draw in a light heavyweight title bout where Blachowicz, in the immediate aftermath, thought Ankalaev did enough to win. UFC President Dana White was not a fan of the championship bout, telling the media that he started to “zone out” after the third round.
White, on the night of UFC 282, announced it would be former light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill who would compete for the vacant belt next at UFC 283 on Jan.
