UFC light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz won the award for being the MMA ambassador of his country. The Polish superstar is one of the top European stars in the UFC at the moment. He has certainly put his country, Poland, on the global MMA map with his championship accolades.
Blachowicz knocked out Dominick Reyes at UFC 253 to capture the vacant 205 lbs gold after Jon Jones left the division for a move to heavyweight. Now, after winning the MMA ambassador award for his country, the Polish star has expressed his gratitude towards his fans and team.
Dziękuję wszystkim kibicom, którzy oddali na mnie głos. Cieszę się, że znalazłem się w takim zacnym gronie. Obiecuje, że dalej będę ambasadorem MMA w naszym kraju.
