Said Nurmagomedov got Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 38 event off to a hot start with a vicious knockout of Mark Striegl. Nurmagomedov (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) needed just 51 seconds to score an absolutely crushing knockout of Striegl (18-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in their bantamweight bout, which took place at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Striegl made the mistake of getting overly aggressive early, and Nurmagomedov responded with a left hook that led to the fight hitting the mat, where he landed vicious ground-and-pound to shut the lights off.
