Jan Blachowicz bests ‘Jacare’ Souza in forgettable UFC Sao Paulo headliner

After 25 minutes, Jan Blachowicz was declared the winner in UFC Sao Paulo’s main event opposite Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. But neither came out looking very good.

Fighting after Saturday’s co-main event ended in a split draw thud, Blachowicz and Souza failed to get out of first gear. By the fourth round of a tactical, taxing bout, the crowd at Ginásio do Ibirapuera was more interested in their cell phones than the action in the octagon.

Blachowicz took home a split decision by scores of 48-47 twice while a third judge gave it to Souza by the same score.
