The fight between Ronaldo Jacare e Jan Blachowicz It was nothing like the public and the athletes themselves imagined. With great expectations created and the protagonism of UFC Sao Paulo, held this Saturday (16), the light heavyweights (up to 93kg.) left the octagon booed by the public who filled the Ibirapuera Gymnasium after a tepid duel. After the judges' decision, which declared the victory of the Pole, the Brazilian, in a collective, disagreed with the position of the evaluators, who, in the majority, chose Jan as the winner.

“I think I won the first three, the fourth, I don't know and the fifth I lost”, said the fighter.

In a confrontation against an athlete who stands out as a future challenger in the division dominated by Jon Jones, Ronaldo states that he takes a positive point about his performance.

“I will definitely come out of this fight stronger. I caught a super top guy, in my first light heavyweight fight. A guy who just knocked out the Luke Rockhold, former champion (middleweight, up to 83,9 kg.), a guy who had been knocking out everyone and I had a five-round fight with him. I won, but, unfortunately, I didn’t take it”, declared the Espírito Santo.

The setback for Blachowicz declared Ronaldo's second consecutive victory in Ultimate. The Brazilian's last victory came in November last year, when, in a spectacular comeback, he delivered a brutal knockout over the former middleweight champion, Chris Weidman.

Ronaldo is going through an unstable period within the company. after the UFC Sao Paulo, Espírito Santo suffered its fifth defeat in its last 10 appearances.

The fighter, who turns 40 at the beginning of December, stated that he intends to return home and will think about the next step in his career, which has already lasted 16 years.

Ronaldo is a former middleweight champion of the extinct Strikeforce and signed his professional contract with Ultimate in 2013. The athlete is considered, by many, to be unfairly treated by the company, as, at his peak, he never received an opportunity to fight for the belt.
