The title shot Jan Blachowicz covets now seems as far away as ever despite the fact that he walked out of the cage with a victory over an all-time great.
In a performance that lacked aggression and the requisite sense of urgency, the former KSW champion settled for a split decision over Ronaldo Souza in the UFC Fight Night 164 main event on Saturday at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. All three judges scored it 29-28, two of them siding with Blachowicz. The 10,344 fans in attendance were not impressed.
