While he had healed the most serious injuries of his life, he decided to do something unforgettable.
During the 20-month distance from Octagon after surgery on both shoulders, former light-weight heroes at the UFC decided to participate in a real television program.
For a month, the pole walked on the Philippines and Thailand… without home, food, money and mobile phones.
Blachouch and his team-mates won the first place out of 12 two teams who participated in the show.
“This was a big adventure to stay without mobile phones and without money, finding a place to sleep and asking people to help – it was an amazing experience,” he said.
“Once we found a place to sleep after 10 minutes of watching, you ask people for help another day, but they said ‘No’, and can take four to five hours to find a place.
“You don’t spend your holidays like this normally. After three days, people said ‘Enough, now I’m going to a hotel’.
