Jan Blachowicz returned to the win column in unusual fashion at UFC on ESPN 36.
In the midst of a competitive bout with Aleksandar Rakic, the former light heavyweight champion won via technical knockout at the 1:11 mark of Round 3 when an unfortunate knee injury suddenly rendered his opponent unable to continue on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Blachowicz has won six of seven fights since July 2019, and he figures to be an interested observer when Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka square off with light heavyweight gold on the line at UFC 275 next month.
