If Jan Blachowicz is looking for a new nickname, “The Spoiler” might be a good choice. Blachowicz extended his winning streak to five straight with a win over Israel Adesanya in the main event of UFC 259. During that run, Blachowicz was the underdog in four of those five bouts. His win over Adesanya had to be extra rewarding as not only did Blachowicz win the fight, but he kept his light heavyweight crown and handed Adesanya his first loss in MMA.
The unanimous decision win moved Blachowicz to 28-8 and dropped Adesanya to 20-1.
Adesanya handled the setback well.
