UFC 282: How judges scored Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev draw

For just the fifth time in UFC history, a title bout ended in a draw as Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought to a split draw at UFC 282.

Any time a draw happens, we’re left with an empty feeling. What made Saturday night’s pay-per-view main event at T-Mobile Arena especially empty is the fact that we’re still left without a light heavyweight champion since Jiri Prochazka, who was supposed to headline against Glover Teixeira, vacated the title after suffering a serious injury.

Many, including Blachowicz himself, believed that Ankalaev was the rightful winner, but judges Mike Bell, Derek Cleary and Sal D’amato each had a different outcome – with D’amato leaving it all tied up at 47-47.
