BAD MMA News — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 19:19:27 +0000

Said Nurmagomedov didn’t waste much time bringing fans to their feet in the main card opener of UFC 294. Nurmagomedov (18-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) shared the octagon with Muin Gafurov (18-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) to start off the pay-per-view portion of the event at Ethihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The bantamweights didn’t spend much time in the cage together though, as Nurmagomedov tapped Gafurov at 1:13 of Round 1. Starting things off working on the outside with quick kicks to the legs and head, Nurmagomedov kept Gafurov’s defense on high alert early. The first takedown attempt would be the last, as Nurmagomedov slapped on a slick guillotine choke that Gafurov couldn’t escape.

The fight proved entertaining for all five rounds, but Abbasov (22-4) was the more effective athlete. He bloodied Kadestam (12-5) and produced a well-rounded effort to take the title in the main event bout, which took place at Istora Senayan in Jakarta, Indonesia, and streamed on B/R Live. Abbasov did what challengers are meant to do in a title fight by coming out of the gate strong. He had some good moments in the first round, including a near-submission attempt that could’ve ended the bout quickly.
