Jan Blachowicz probably wanted his fight against Aleksandar Rakic to end in a more definitive manner, but sometimes, it’s best just to take what happens and move on. It seems as if that is what the former light heavyweight champion is going to do after UFC Vegas 54.
Blachowicz’s goal was to get the win against Rakic, hold on to his No. 1 spot in the official UFC light heavyweight rankings and set himself up for a potential rematch against the man who took the title from him, Glover Teixeira. Blachowicz realized his goal when a knee injury stopped Rakic in the third stanza of their contest.
