UFC 259 'Thrill and Agony': Khabib compliments Jan Blachowicz's wrestling
UFC 259 ended up being a great night for for Jan Blachowicz.
Not only did the light heavyweight champion defend his title and hand middleweight champ Israel Adesanya his first loss, he also got the highest compliment any fighter can get in the wrestling department.
Blachowicz was congratulated on his win and his takedowns by UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov – arguably the most dominant grappler in MMA history.
In a preview of “The Thrill and the Agony” special from UFC 259, which is available for UFC Fight Pass subscribers, we get an all-access look at the immediate aftermath of Blachowicz’s decision win over Adesanya in the main event, plus two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes’ dominant first-round finish of Megan Anderson in the co-main event.
