In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Moicano said that, in the result of the fight between Blachowicz and Ulberg in UFC London, the judges may have taken into account the fact that the Pole is a veteran, who has already faced big names in the division, while his training partner Israel adesanya represents the renewal of the category.
“The judges unconsciously take into account that Blachowicz is older, he was already a champion, he has already fought with Ankalaev and Poatan. So, if he won that fight, there would be a repeat. I don’t know if they would put him directly for the belt or against Alex Pereira, but certainly, with the victory of the Carlos Ulberg, new challengers emerge to fight for the top of the division and this guarantees Poatan's rematch with Ankalaev. I think that was why, because, in my view, Blachowicz won,” said Moicano.
Moicano classifies the result as the 'biggest robbery in recent times'
Renato Moicano stated that, in his opinion, the fight between Jan Blachowicz e Carlos Ulberg It was one of the biggest recent robberies. He argued that the veteran was more active, more aggressive, put the New Zealander against the fence and hurt him with kicks, arguing that, for that reason, he deserved the victory.
“For me, the biggest robbery in recent times. Jan Blachowicz He advanced further, absorbed the blows better, was more aggressive, put the guy against the fence and gave more kicks to the calf.”, he said Renato Moicano.
With the victory in UFC London, Carlos Ulberg achieved his 12th career victory, while Blachowicz, at 42 years old, suffered his 11th defeat.
