After 25 minutes, Jan Blachowicz was declared the winner in UFC Sao Paulo’s main event opposite Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. But neither came out looking very good.
Fighting after Saturday’s co-main event ended in a split draw thud, Blachowicz and Souza failed to get out of first gear. By the fourth round of a tactical, taxing bout, the crowd at Ginásio do Ibirapuera was more interested in their cell phones than the action in the octagon.
Blachowicz took home a split decision by scores of 48-47 twice while a third judge gave it to Souza by the same score.
