Count it 10 straight victories for the #4 ranked contender, Islam Makhachev — who manages to knock back the short-notice challenge of Bobby Green, landing a flurry of dominant ground strikes to round out UFC Vegas 49.
Electing to strike with Green for the first minute, Makhachev eventually clinched and then locked the hands, securing his first successful takedown with three minutes remaining in the first round. Half guard almost immediately for the Russian.
Establishing mount soon there after, Makhachev began laying down heavy ground strikes, and forced the San Bernardino native to belly out — giving up his back.
Pounding from the top with hammerfists and hooks, Makhachev left Green with no escape route — scoring a one-sided first round finish courtesy of strikes.

Chilean lightweight prospect, Ignacio Bahamondes has his second UFC victory locked and secured. Forcing a third round finish for the second fight running, the 24-year-old eventually landed a third round guillotine success against Zhu Rong in the featured preliminary card slot of UFC Vegas 49.
Bahamondes, who entered tonight’s showdown off the back of a spectacular wheel kick finish over Roosevelt Roberts in the third frame, managed to sprawl in a rare takedown attempt in the largely striking battle against Zhu, transitioning to a neck attack on cue.
Transitioning from a D’Arce choke from the sprawl, Bahamondes then assumed top position, eventually transitioning to an almost mounted guillotine — scoring his twelfth career win.

Count it two UFC victories and now 11 first round finishes for lightweight prospect, Terrance McKinney — who stops Fares Ziam inside the opening two minutes of their UFC Vegas 49 preliminary card bout — courtesy of a taut rear-naked choke.
Attempting to land early akin to his stunning June, seven-second knockout win over Matt Frevola, McKinney rushed forward with a misplaced shot, resulting in a slip and forcing an eventual grappling scramble.
Working his way to side control quite easily, McKinney then gave up half guard as Ziam recovered, before eventually taking the back of his rescheduled foe. And despite a wayward angle to setup a rear-naked choke, the patient McKinney eventually forced the tap from Ziam — scoring his his second UFC victory and second Octagon stoppage.

Polish mixed martial arts organization, Prime MMA hosted their first event last weekend, featuring yet another 2-1 bout – this time between two YouTube content creators and an actor.
The promotion hosted their first event in Lodz, Poland – featuring nine mixed martial arts bouts and a pair of professional boxing matches.
Over the course of the last 18 months, events in both Poland and Russia have begun fielding rather bizarre and controversial 2-1 fights, featuring two competitors taking on a sole opponent, and in many instances, intergender fights featuring two males and a single female competitor.
Prime MMA is a newly founded mixed martial arts promotion with headquarters based in Lodz, Poland
Receiving mass flak and criticizm as a result, Prime MMA hosted a 2-1 bout featuring a pair of YouTubers reality television stars, Jakub Lasik, and Rafal Pazik – and actor, Alan Kwiecinski – who was billed as the “face of the organization”.
In the opening frame of the bout at Prime MMA, Kwiecinski managed to score knockdowns on both Lasik and Pazik, with the referee beginning the count for the felled duo.
Despite the fact Kwiecinski scored the victory against both opponents in the two-on-one matchup at Prime MMA, the former held a rather significant weight advantage over both Lasik and Pazik during and pre-fight.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Rampage Jackson has shared footage of his son, Raja Jackson competing at a Global Legion FC event on the regional circuit in the United States – with his son wrapping up a slick anaconda choke win.
Jackson, who is best known for his stints under the Japanese-based Pride FC banner as well as his time with the UFC – where he landed the undisputed light heavyweight title, last competed professionally back in December 2019 under the Bellator banner, dropping a one-sided first round knockout loss to Fedor Emelianenko.
Rampage Jackson embarked on a 5-3 record during his eight-fight run with Bellator MMA
Improving to 2-0 as an amateur, Raja Jackson managed to eventually set up an expertly applied anaconda choke, patiently setting up the finish before forcing a tap from his opponent. Sharing the footage of his son’s second amateur victory, Rampage Jackson posted the finish on his official Twitter account.
“A little footage from my son’s fight (at) Global Legion FC,” Rampage Jackson tweeted with accompanying footage.
In his first amateur outing, Raja Jackson, who plys his trade under Quinton and Bellator MMA alum, Antonio McKee – the father of undefeated featherweight kingpin, A.J. McKee – stopped Zalimkhan Shakhrudinov with second round ground strikes back in November of last year.
For Rampage Jackson, the sport pioneer boasts a 38-14 professional record, scoring a notable 20 career knockout wins.
The veteran has defeated the likes of Igor Vovchanchyn, Kevin Randleman, Murilo Bustamante, Chuck Liddell, Ricardo Arona, and Murilo Rua during his time under the Pride FC banner, before an eventual UFC move back in 2007.
Landing in the organization with a knockout win over Marvin Eastman, Rampage Jackson would go on to score a second career win over Liddell to win the undisputed light heavyweight championship, before then besting Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva, Keith Jardine, Lyoto Machida, Matt Hamill, and then Fabio Maldonado in his final Octagon walk in 2015.

Sweet Dreams. Jamahal Hill living up to his nickname most certainly in the main event of UFC Vegas 48 — stopping Johnny Walker with a thunderous clipping right hand shot to round out tonight’s action at the UFC Apex facility.
Hill, who patiently stalked Walker as the Brazilian evaded, exploded with a right hand as Walker approached, and despite only clipping the Straight Blast Gym staple with the strike, he rendered Walker completely unconscious, standing, before following up with a pair of ground strikes.
