Islam Makhachev: Who did lose too| Vs bobby green full fight
Who did lose too:
The No. 4 lightweight in MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings needed less than four minutes to take veteran Bobby Green to the canvas and ground-and-pound his way to victory in the main event of UFC Vegas 49 on Saturday. With the win, Makhachev has now knocked off 10 straight opponents and has all but guaranteed himself a future title shot.
There was plenty of other noteworthy action on tonight’s card, so check out what the pros had to say about the main event as well as Wellington Turman’s stunning submission of Misha Cirkunov, Priscila Cachoeira and Ji Yeon Kim putting on a “Fight of the Year” candidate, Arman Tsarukyan emerging as one to watch at 155 pounds, and more.
While Green came in with a ton of respect for even taking this fight on less than two weeks’ notice as a replacement for Beneil Dariush, all that anyone will be talking about after tonight is Makhachev putting on another dominant performance.
Vs Bobby Green full fight:
Makhachev (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) extended his winning streak to a remarkable 10 consecutive fights with a first-round TKO victory over Green (29-13-1 MMA, 10-8-1 UFC), who stepped in for Beneil Dariush as a short-notice replacement at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
The fight was contested at a 160-pound catchweight, but Makhachev’s win positioned him high in the title shot queue in the lightweight division.
Islam Makhachev added another win to his stellar resume Saturday when he thwarted Bobby Green in the makeshift UFC Fight Night 202 main event.
