UFC Vegas 54 Full Fight Card Winner And Results
Jan Blachowicz planned to use leg kicks to take down Aleksandar Rakic, but the former light heavyweight champion won the main event at UFC Vegas 54 owing to a devastating knee injury for Rakic.
Blachowicz had been chipping away at Rakic with a series of brutal calf kicks since the beginning of the fight, but when he surged forward in the third round, the Austrian fighter Rakic took a step back and his knee buckled. At 1:11 into the third round, Rakic collapsed to the ground, clearly in pain, and the referee came in to stop the fight.
While it wasn’t the way he planned to win, Blachowicz can still celebrate his triumph as he defeats yet another top contender, with the hope of competing for UFC gold again soon.

Jan Blachowicz earned $46,000 in his most recent declared base paycheck at UFC 239. Jan Blachowicz, on the other hand, has substantially progressed since then. But his most recent defeat, agonist Glover Teixeira, cost him dearly. However, winning four of his last five games will earn him significant from UFC Vegas 54. As a result, Blachowicz is anticipated to earn more than $100,000. Rakic, on the other hand, earned $60,000 in his last bout. As a result, Aleksandar Rakic is likely to earn close to $100,000.
Following the battle, Blachowicz offered Rakic some words of encouragement and assured that one day he will be a champion. After winning the fight, Blachowicz will hope to reclaim the title he lost to Glover Teixeira in October. With Teixeira already requesting a rematch, Blachowicz gladly accepted, and will now cheer for the Brazilian to win his own fight against Jiri Prochazka in the UFC 275 main event in June.
