Magomed Ankalaev solidified his spot as the No. 1 ranked light heavyweight contender at UFC 308.

On the cusp of a shot at Alex Pereira‘s 205-pound title, Ankalaev stepped inside the Octagon in Abu Dhabi for a high-stakes clash with former title contender Aleksandar Raki?.

Magomed Ankalaev

Throughout the three-round affair, Ankalaev kept moving forward forcing Raki? to stay on his back foot and dance around the cage wall. That allowed Ankalaev to control the action and land the more impactful shots as Raki? was mostly relegated to lead leg attacks.

Shara 'Bullet' Magomedov Scores Insane Double Backfist KO Against Armen Petrosyan - UFC 308 Highlights

Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov kicked off the UFC 308 main card with one of the most incredible KOs of 2024.

Things got off to a fast and furious start between Magomedov and Petrosyan with the latter landing a straight right hand during an early exchange that appeared to have ‘Bullet’ reeling early. Petrosyan didn’t recognize the damage he inflicted and allowed Magomedov plenty of time to recover.

Shara Bullet Magomedov

Magomedov appeared to have a speed advantage and began to pick apart Petrosyan, particularly with a consistent lead leg attack that had Petrosyan looking a little rough while getting off his stool for the second round.

Despite that, Petrosyan proved to be the busier striker on the stat sheet as we reached the halfway point of the contest.

Shara Bullet Magomedov

As the 10-second clacker sounds in the second stanza, ‘Bullet’ uncorked a double back fist that caught Petrosyan clean and sent him crashing to the canvas. Sensing the fight was over, Magomedov opted to walk away rather than go in for the kill.

Referee Kerry Hatley rushed in and immediately called off the fight, giving Magomedov the 11th spinning back first KO in UFC history.

Official Result: Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov def. Armen Petrosyan via TKO (spinning back fist) at 4:52 of Round 2.

Jun Yong Park got back into the win column at UFC Vegas 98 with a big decision victory over heavy-hitting veteran Brad Tavares.

30 seconds into the scrap, Tavares landed a straight right that put ‘The Iron Turtle’ on his back.

Alex Pereira did it again.

Returning to the Octagon at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City for his third title defense of 2024, ‘Poatan’ scored yet another highlight-reel knockout, though it didn’t come without a bit of adversity.

Alex Pereira

Squaring off with heavy-hitting contender Khalil Rountree, Pereira showed his opponent the proper respect throughout the first three rounds and even found himself on the wrong side of a few stinging shots and a near knockdown. However, it was just a matter of time before the Pereira took over. That moment came in the fourth round as he began to batter and bloody ‘The War Horse’ with a series of methodical strikes.

With 30 seconds to go in the penultimate round, Pereira unleashed a flurry of strikes against the fence that finally sent Rountree crashing to the canvas. With his face already busted up and his lead leg compromised from a slew of calf kicks, referee Marc Goddard had finally seen enough, calling for the TKO stoppage.

Holland attempted an armbar near the four-minute mark of the round, but he appears to have been injured during the exchange. That prompts Dolidze to drop bombs from the mount.

Kevin Holland

To his credit, Holland was able to cover up and survive the onslaught. Going back to his corner, Holland revealed that he suffered a rib and was unable to continue.
