Another controversial call by the judges? The high-octane clash between Jan Blachowicz and Carlos Ulberg at UFC London ended in a storm of debate. Despite the Polish powerhouse seemingly outstriking the Kiwi in the closing rounds, Ulberg walked away with a unanimous decision victory. Dana White had even dubbed this showdown the most anticipated fight outside the main event, but the judges’ verdict left fans feeling shortchanged.
“I know, and I know you don’t want to talk about it, but it’s got to be Blachowicz. Of course, it has to be. I mean, it ends in a very violent way, doesn’t it? Yeah, it’s my favorite fight on the card. So, yeah, that’s my — that’s not an “if you don’t know” — because you should know. If you follow the sport, you should know that fight’s happening. But that is my favorite fight on the card,” said Dana White as he expressed that Blachowicz and Ulberg would be a looked-after fight at UFC London but what he might not have anticipated is the fact that the judges might hinder the progress of the match.
Unanimous decision?
