During their co-headlining matchup, Stirling dropped Blachowicz
with a powerful strike that sent him across the Octagon. Stirling
then opened up a nasty cut on his face with ground-and-pound blows
en route to victory, the biggest of his career so far. Blachowicz
has now given fans a look at the aftermath of the bout, sharing
images of the cut before and after getting stitches.
“It is what it is,” Blachowicz wrote in the caption of his post.
“Another one for the collection.”
This defeat extended Blachowicz’s winless run to five fights. His
last victory came all the way back in May 2022, when he defeated
Aleksandar
Rakic. Since then, the Polish 205-pounder has fought to draws
against Magomed
Ankalaev and Bogdan
Guskov while suffering decision losses to former UFC champion
Alex
Pereira and current light heavyweight king Carlos
Ulberg.
