What do you think of Pereira's split decision win over Blachowicz? There were some disappointed people that says Jan was robbed but I didn't think that was the case. The third round was clearly the decider and I thought Alex dominated that in striking while Jan's takedown came in a little too late imo. One thing that surprised me in this fight is the poor conditioning of Jan (no Polish power is shown here 
). For Alex, he looks more natural in this weight. He'll probably be next for the LHW title.
I also thought I would lose this match. The decision seem a bit rob since Jan controlled him the first round. And even in the 2nd Alex was struggling after a TD. I Think the judges give more points when Jan got tired in the 2nd round and took several jabs.). For Alex, he looks more natural in this weight. He'll probably be next for the LHW title.Dustin falling like that is more disappointing to me.
The fight finished too early to everyone's liking but he can't really do something about it. The straight right hand that landed and followed by that high kick was just a great combination from Gaethje. He's been trying to connect that kick since the first round.Sometimes it just end in a way we don't expect even Derrick's jumping knee is new.
Totally unexpected move there from Derrick and I'm glad it worked out for him.
