UFC light heavyweight contender Jan Blachowicz showed that he could take a joke.

Blachowicz collided with Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in the main event of UFC Sao Paulo on Saturday night. Although the Pole won the contest via split decision, it was an extremely dull and uneventful affair with many fans complaining.

Fighters weren’t impressed either as UFC middleweight Derek Brunson poked fun at the main event by stating that it put his baby to sleep:

“Y’all mad , im happy . Jan and Jacare put my baby to sleep, thanks fellaz . I feel like I need to pay a babysitter’s fee ??? #UFCSP” he wrote on Twitter.

Blachowicz would respond soon after:

“Everything for kids, man ?” he replied.

Brunson replied giving Blachowicz props for his performance:

“A lot of strategy and jocking for position there. Good job leaving a lasting impression. Congrats!” he wrote.

Despite the nature of the main event, Blachowicz has now won six of his last seven and is right in the mix for title contention.

However, with Dominick Reyes seemingly next in line for current champion Jon Jones, Blachowicz will either have to wait for the winner or take a potential fight with Corey Anderson next.

What did you think of the fight and Brunson’s tweet?

UFC Sao Paulo Staff Predictions

Jon Fuentes:

It hasn’t worked well for middleweights jumping up to light heavyweight as of late. Souza, of course, brings a very different dynamic to the division with his ground game.

But he has to get the fight there first. Blachowicz has looked phenomenal as of late and comes off a knockout win over Luke Rockhold. I think Blachowicz might be just strong enough to prevent the fight from going to the ground, and will outclass Souza on the feet. (Prediction: Jan Blachowicz)

Abhinav Kini:

This is a tough one to call. Given the performances of Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman at light heavyweight, I’m a bit wary about picking a middleweight making the move up. Jan Blachowicz has improved tremendously in recent years as well. But I still have Jacare Souza edging this, particularly if he can get the bigger Blachowicz on the ground. (Prediction: Jacare Souza)

What do you make of our UFC on ESPN+ 22 staff predictions? Do you agree?
