"Guskov would connect with one of his own, notably with far less behind it. A Guskov punch sent Blachowicz backpedaling however. Not to be outdone, Blachowicz sent Gustkov reeling off a left hand of his own. In the final minute, a little two-punch combo, right-left, sent Guskov retreating again. He would bounce back, however, firing off a combination of his own; Blachowicz would add another leg kick prior to the horn."
"Bogdan Guskov landed, knocking the former champ down! Guskov got on top, dropping ground n' pound as Blachowicz covered up. Jan survived the onslaught, and went after a heel hook. He'd readjust and give it a go, but Guskov escaped and backed up before getting back on top. From there, Blachowicz closed his guard, and Guskov landed several hard elbows. Blachowicz was cut open, bloodied, but still he wasn't putting much effort into escaping, instead looking to run down the clock."
Jan Blachowicz, age 42 and ranked No. 5, faced 33-year-old Bogdan Guskov, ranked No. 11. The opening frame saw Guskov using mobility and right hands while Blachowicz relied on leg kicks and measured counters. Early exchanges included punch combinations and leg kicks for both fighters. In round two, Guskov landed a knockdown, mounted Blachowicz and delivered ground-and-pound and elbows, opening a cut. Blachowicz attempted a heel-hook and closed his guard to survive while running clock time. Momentum clearly shifted to Guskov, who continued landing right hands and maintained offensive control into the next round.
