“Let me correct a few things. Firstly, I honestly don't think the last match was too bad. Secondly, I didn't think I won, but I didn't think I lost. A draw was a fair result,” Jan Blachowic shared on Twitter after returning to Poland, ending the journey in American soil.
In the focal point of UFC 282, the confrontation between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev ended in controversy. At the end of 5 rounds, 2 unconscious boxers defeated with a draw. Ankalaev proved not to submit to this decision, while Blachowicz was misunderstood recognized by Russian boxers to win.
The former UFC champion was misunderstood because while the referees announced the scoring results, he pointed towards Ankalaev. Social networking sites immediately take that as a basis for infering Blachowicz that Ankalaev is the one who deserves to win, even though he has never said this.
Not only correcting the controversial indicator in UFC 282, Blachowicz also took this opportunity to “defame” opponent Ankalaev. He shared: “At the end of the match, one crying talk about injury, the other showed the honor and believed in the match. I am glad that everyone witnessed and cherished.”
The words Blachowicz showed the calmness of a top boxer, completely different from the bitter statement of Ankalaev after the UFC 282 event.
“I won. I won with one knee pain. So my championship is not too bad,” Ankalaev said. After that, he had to apologize for his misleading statements, but the excuse came from the translator.
