Blachowicz lost a decision to Manuwa back in 2015, however, the kickboxer came out all guns blazing this time around—dropping the “Poster Boy” to establish the rhythm of the fight.

Blachowicz then utilized great footwork and movement to stay at bay from Manuwa’s wide hooks. In the end, the judges scored the bout in favor of Blachowicz—in what was a fairly one-sided affair.

Result: Jan Blachowicz def. Jimi Manuwa via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)


#3 Tom Duquesnoy vs Terrion Ware

Tom Duquesnoy had some trouble in the early going with Ware’s handling of the distance and timing.

However, in Round 2, Duquesnoy adjusted and, began utilizing long-range shots rather than planting his feet and swinging in the pocket. Duquesnoy edged this one on the scorecards, not only owing to the fact that he out-struck Ware, but also controlled the pace of the fight after a few tense moments early.

Result: Tom Duquesnoy def. Terrion Ware via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
