Jan Blachowicz is back in the light heavyweight title picture after earning a TKO victory over Aleksandar Raki? at UFC Vegas 54 tonight.
Blachowicz was handed victory after Raki? suffered a catastrophic knee injury that forced the ref to step in. It was Blachowicz’s first win since losing the light heavyweight title to Glover Teixeira in October last year.
Until Raki?’s injury, the fight was closely contested. Round one saw Raki? land several heavy jabs, to which Blachowicz responded with a series of debilitating calf kicks. The Pole also had Raki? wobbled a few times.
Raki? dominated on the ground for most of round two after landing a huge takedown early on. Then just a minute into round three, Raki?’s knee buckled while he was backing up. The Serb fell back onto the canvas while clutching his knee, and the ref stepped in to call the fight.
You can catch all the highlights of the main event below.


This was Blachowicz’s seventh win in eight fights.




Now, let’s see how fighters reacted to Blachowicz’s victory over Raki? at UFC Vegas 54.
