Top UFC light heavyweight contenders Jan Blachowicz and Aleksandar Rakic went toe-to-toe for two intense rounds before an injury forced an unfortunate end to their contest early in the third frame.
After planting his right leg, Rakic dropped to the floor in clear pain, rendering him unable to continue, and Blachowicz was awarded a TKO win at the 1:11 mark of the third round in the main event of Saturday's UFC on ESPN 36 event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
The two heavy hitters wasted little time engaging at the start of the contest, trading punches and kicks in close range.
