Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz fought to a draw at UFC 282. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the result.
The light heavyweight division still has no champion.
After going five rounds against Jan Blachowicz and dealing with some nasty leg kicks while at it, Magomed Ankalaev only did enough to convince one judge, while another one gave it to the former champion and the last saw a tie, which resulted in a split draw.
On Twitter, pro fighters did not agree with the result again.
Damn lets get a quick knock out, its getting late 🙂

Nothing more painful than those low leg calf kicks- and it doesn’t go away- pain that hurts for weeks

Who the fuck were these judges tonight? @AnkalaevM and @JFlashGordonMMA were robbed badly. I wonder if anyone who works for the NSAC had a little parlay going on tonight that involved those two specific results. #UFC282
