As part of the UFC Fight Night 136 in Moscow, the Polish light heavyweight Jan Blachowicz confidently defeated Nikita Krylov of Russia who was returning to the promotion.
As expected, Krylov began the fight aggressively and after several successful attacks in the stance he moved the fight to the ground. Nikita recorded several successful attacks on his asset, but the Pole managed to escape from the predicament. Later Krylov made a mistake and was below in the position of lateral control - the rest of the round the fighters conducted on the ground.
At the beginning of the second round Blachowicz confidently transferred the fight to the ground and after some time skillfully conducted a stifling reception, forcing Krylov to tap out in surrender.
After the victory Blachowicz called out the champion in his division Daniel Cormier, adding that he would also like to have a rematch with Alexander Gustafsson.
