Magomed won. Maybe he didn't do everything he could, but he basically won. He did enough to win. I am a man of faith; Man proposes, God disposes. So it was meant to be. So it was our destiny that we shouldn't have taken the belt on that day.
Referee Mike Bell called the match between Ankalaev and Blachowicz 48-47 in favor of Blachowicz, referee Derek Cleary called it 48-46 in favor of Ankalaev and referee Sal D'Amato called it a draw 47-47.
