Jan Blachowicz and Israel Adesanya enjoyed a wholesome moment following their title fight last night.

Blachowicz successfully defended his light heavyweight crown after outpointing Adesanya over five rounds in the UFC 259 headliner.

It was a big blow for Adesanya as he was looking to become just the fifth two-weight simultaneous champion while he also suffered his first professional defeat in the process.

However, he took the loss with grace and stated after the fight that if he was going to lose to anyone, he’d prefer for it to be against a classy champion like Blachowicz.

“Losses are part of life, and losses are something I deal with occasionally,” Adesanya said at the UFC 259 post-fight press conference (via Middle Easy). “Just, this is my first one in MMA. Yeah, but as they say, it is what it is.

“If I was going to lose to anyone, you know, what better guy to lose to than a guy like Jan — a classy champion, a cool dude, a very nice guy, a guy who has a great story himself. On his way to getting cut from the company, comes back and then dominates, becomes light heavyweight champion and then hands this guy, a future legend, his first loss. If I’m going to lose to anyone, I’m glad I lost to him.”

There is clearly respect between the pair and that was further showcased when they had a hilarious miscommunication just before the official scorecards were read.

Adesanya told Blachowicz he made him look like a butter guard while the latter heard bodyguard which led to the exchange below:

Following his first successful title defence, UFC light heavyweight champ, Jan Blachowicz, is looking to have a short break from fighting.

An impressive decision victory over Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya saw Jan demonstrate his underrated ability as a mixed martial artist. However, Blachowicz now wishes to take some time out from the sport, and spend it with his new-born son. Speaking in the post fight press conference, Jan had the following to say:

“Because I won against someone against Israel, one of the best in the world, now 20-1, he’s going to remember me for the rest of his life. Amazing, great feeling. “I’m going to take a short break, minimum half a year… If (Glover) wants to wait a little bit longer, he’s going to be my next opponent” (as reported by Aaron Bronsteter).

Jan: "I'm going to take a short break, minimum half a year… If (Glover) wants to wait a little bit longer, he's going to be my next opponent."

Whilst Blachowicz is taking some time out, he already appears to have his next opponent lined up. Light heavyweight veteran Glover Teixeira has mounted a late-career resurgence, picking up wins over the likes of Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith. Glover actually made weight at UFC 259, as a backup fighter should either Adesanya or Blachowicz drop out for any unforeseen reason. He is the undeniable number 1. contender at light heavyweight, and his veteran guile may well cause Blachowicz any number of problems.
