UFC 242 Results - Islam Makhachev Picks Up A Clean Victory After Three Rounds of Dominance

Davi Ramos had never been taken down inside the Octagon. But Islam Makhachev proved, there’s a first for everything. Makhachev not only dominated Ramos on the feet, but for most of the third round secured the top position and turned the fight around. But the fight got a slow start as both the lightweights were hesitant to engage and had to settle with low output. Ramos waited a but more on Makhachev which only led to the Dagestani to be more aggressive. Ramos looked to take him down, but with a strong defense Makhachev neutralized the Brazilian’s offense. A stiff left hand from Makhachev staggered Ramos for a second as he began to bleed from his nose. Makhachev’s carefully handpicked shots were more accurate and did most of the damage. With this win, Makhachev is now on a six fight win streak and looking to challenge the winner of Felder vs. Barboza.
