Makhachev vs. Moicano – Main Event Recap

Originally set to defend his title against Arman Tsarukyan, Makhachev had to adjust when Tsarukyan pulled out due to injury. Renato Moicano stepped in on short notice, but Makhachev wasted no time, securing a D’Arce choke at 4:05 of the first round to retain his championship.

Makhachev’s win marks his fourth straight title defense, setting a new lightweight division record. He now needs just one more victory to tie Anderson Silva’s all-time UFC winning streak of 16.

Makhachev post-fight:
“I’m always looking for a finish. If my opponent gives me a small chance, I will take the fight.”

Co-Main Event: Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov

In the co-main event, Merab Dvalishvili put on a relentless display to hand Umar Nurmagomedov his first career loss and successfully defend the bantamweight title.

Nurmagomedov started strong, using his striking to control the first two rounds, but Dvalishvili’s incredible cardio and takedown pressure took over in the later rounds. He secured a unanimous decision victory (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) and broke Georges St-Pierre’s record for most takedowns in UFC history with his 91st career takedown.

Dvalishvili post-fight:
“He called me old… yes, I’m old, but I work every day. I’m a harder worker.”
