UFC Vegas 54 results: Jan Blachowicz wins by injury TKO over Aleksandar Rakic

That’s all she wrote for UFC Vegas 54, which saw four finishes across six main card matchups, including a TKO, a knockout, a submission, and an injury TKO.

That injury happened in the main event when the UFC’s former 205-pound champion, Jan Blachowicz, defeated the promotion’s #3 ranked light heavyweight, Aleksandar Rakic, in the third round. The fight seemed to be just heating up, with calf kicks flying on both sides in the first round, and rakic finding his stride in the second with his wrestling. Early in the third frame, that’s when Rakic took a backwards step and the knee on his rear leg gave out on him, causing him to drop down to the canvas in pain.
