JAN BLACHOWICZ KNOCKS OUT DOMINICK REYES TO BECOME THE NEW UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

WOOOAAAAAHHHHH! HOLY SHIT!!! POLISH POWER!!!

Jan Blachowicz just put Dominick Reyes on YOUNG BAMBI LEGS with a left hand and finished him off with some ground-and-pound to become the NEW UNDISPUTED UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. This marks the first time in NINE YEARS that neither Jon Jones or Daniel Cormier are holding that title (Jones having recently vacated the belt to move up to heavyweight, leading to this fight getting booked) which is a pretty wild stat. 

Blachowicz was a +220 underdog coming into this fight, but he might've had some supernatural help on his side....

It was a great fight while it lasted. I really thought Reyes would have it in the bag, too, but he just didn't look like the same fighter he was against Jones earlier this year. He just seemed a little...slower? Like he was a bit flat-footed in there? I'm not really sure. I'm no expert analyst.

I do know that it's probably time to stop doubtin our new CHAMP, tho - so congrats to Jan!
