UFC 282 started off with fire, but ended in abject disappointment. The main event was scored a split draw, meaning that the light heavyweight title remains vacant.
The most memorable images of UFC 282 were Jan Blachowicz congratulating Magomed Ankalaev–after the decision was announced–for winning the fight, and Ankalaev exiting the octagon with tears in his eyes. Ankalaev made incredible adjustments after both of his legs were compromised by Blachowicz’s leg kicks, and it looked like he definitively won the fight with his grappling. But the judges ruled differently, and a championship moment was lost.
Following the indecision in the UFC 282 main event, Dana White announced that Glover Teixeira will fight Jamahal Hill for the vacant title next month at UFC 283–a decision that leaves both Ankalaev and Blachowicz, at least for now, out of the title picture.
