Ignacio Bahamondes climbed back into the win column in spectacular fashion at UFC Vegas 89 on Saturday night.

Mixing up his striking, Bahamondes connected with a stellar spinning heel kick that appeared to have Giagos comprised in the early going of the opening round. He immediately followed that up with another spinning heel kick, this time to the body of Giagos. Already looking worse for wear, it was just a matter of time before Bahamondes connected with the knockout blow.

That moment came with nearly 90 seconds left in the round and Bahamondes uncorked a nasty head kick that connected clean and dropped Giagos against the fence. The referee immediately stepped in, calling for the stoppage.

Official Result: Ignacio Bahamondes def. Christos Giagos via KO (head kick) at 3:34 of Round 1.

Armenian-born uber-prospect, Tsarukyan has featured five times under the UFC’s banner, besting the quartet of Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Davi Ramos, Matt Frevola, and now Giagos, with his sole loss coming opposite surging contender, Islam Makhachev in his promotional bow back in April 2019.

Featuring midway through the main card of UFC Vegas 37 from the UFC Apex facility, Tsarukyan pressed and pressured Giagos early in the opening exchanges before wobbling and dropping him with a beautifully timed left hook following a miscued high-kick.

Rushing in with a lengthy barrage of ground strikes from both hands, Tsarukyan eventually gained the attention of referee, Herb Dean, who mercifully saved Giagos just over a minute into the first round.

Christos Giagos is flying high so far in 2021. The lightweight just earned his first UFC bonus and now has his eyes set on one name, Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone.

Giagos sat down with LowKickMMA to talk about how his year has gone so far and what’s in his future. The lightweight is having an exciting year. He got married in April. He also improved to a winning record in his second stint in the UFC. Although for Giagos, he shouldn’t have been cut in the first place.

“I never thought that I deserved to get cut. I never lost two in a row in the UFC. They actually re-signed me, kept me off for six months, and then cut me with a bunch of other fighters. So knowing that I was like, man, I didn’t deserve to get cut.”

“I went through some dark times. But, I have many friends that, who cheered me on and they believed in me and everyone said like, you do belong there. Everyone thought I got cut for some bull crap. So, they started getting in my head and I was like, okay, I’ll prove my worth.”

And prove his worth, he did. With an impressive D’Arce choke submission of Sean Soriano, he improved to 5-4 in the UFC and earned himself one of the inflated bonuses of $75K given out at UFC 262. Afterward, Giagos wasted no time calling out his next desired opponent, Cerrone. Giagos doubled down on the call-out during the conversation.

“I don’t think a top 15 contender is the next one. I think I have to do a little bit more and that’s why I called out Donald Cerrone,” Giagos said. “Cause I feel like if I can get past the big name that’s outside of the top 15, it can definitely give me that next stint in the top 15.

“I want Donald because I’ve always wanted to fight him,” Giagos added. “I love watching him go and I think it would be a true test to my ability and I think after that, if I can get through Donald, then I can make my next one versus a top 15 contender.
