UFC 282 featured a light heavyweight title fight. However, no one holds the belt after her, as the fight between Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz ended in a draw. This did not please not only the Dagestan fighter, but also his patron and Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov.
Jiří Procházka had to give up the title due to injury. He is now successful after the operation and could watch the match for his belt in peace. Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought for the place of UFC light heavyweight champion.
However, the match ended in a draw and nobody is the champion. Another title match has even been announced, which will be between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill in January in Rio de Janeiro.
According to Blachowicz the draw was a fair result, but Ankalaev did not hide his disappointment and anger. He felt like a winner even though he only won the last two rounds. In addition to the Dagestani, the result did not please his friend, who is none other than the Chechen dictator Razman Kadyrov.
Dirty politics in the UFC?
While Magomed Ankalaev has declared he never wants to fight in Vegas again, dictator Razman Kadyrov immediately started connecting with UFC boss Dana White.
“What happened? You were a normal, principled person and now you’ve escaped the cage with the belt without handing it over to the clear winner. Has politics entered the UFC that requires you to make dirty decisions? It’s a sport, Dana, be honest . quotes Kadyr’s server MMA Mania.
“Save face of the organization, your face. Admit your mistake, give the belt to the real winner and apologize for this show. Save the UFC’s reputation” the dictator solicits the head of the best organization in the world.
An example would be the man who robbed Kincl
Razman Kadyrov gave the head of the UFC a vivid example of how the promoter of the organization should behave. He specifically mentioned the head of the Russian organization ACA, formerly known as ACB, famous for canceling boring matches, for example.
And that’s not all. He has no problem reversing a decision he doesn’t agree with. Octagon champion Patrik Kincl has heard it firsthand. At the ACB 52 tournament in January 2017, he defeated Arbi Aguyev in the second round, but Khasiev then intervened, tying Kincl’s win.
According to Kadyrov, Khasiev prevents any bias in the ACA, requires objectivity and does not mix sports with politics at any cost.
