LAS VEGAS : The UFC's light heavyweight championship will remain vacant after a title bout between Poland's Jan Blachowicz and Russia's Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 282 ended in a controversial split draw at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.

After a cautious opening round in which both title contenders took their time sounding each other out, Blachowicz peppered Ankalaev's front leg with kicks and put the Russian under pressure in the second and third rounds. In a rare act of sportsmanship, Blachowicz, who previously held the belt for 398 days between September 2020 and October 2021, said the win should have been awarded to Ankalaev.
