Georgian Middleweight UFC Roman Dolidze shared his impressions of the fight for the vacant belt in the light heavyweight division between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev. The meeting took place on December 11 at UFC 282 and ended in a draw.

“It was a very difficult fight for both athletes. The first thing I would like to note is that both showed the highest level, both showed that they are ready to be champions.

I really liked the fight itself, I was present in the hall. And he was very surprised. We were sure that Ankalaev, with his skills, might simply not feel Jan, but Blachowicz showed a very worthy fight. Because of the damage that Blachowicz inflicted on Ankalaev, the judges probably decided to give a draw, although I was inclined to believe that Ankalaev won, ”Metaratings quotes Dolidze.
