In front of a native crowd in the main event of RAF Moscow, Khamzat Chimaev delivered, making quick work of Tyron Woodley.

Woodley, a former UFC welterweight champion with his own wrestling pedigree, looked for a takedown almost right away. But Chimaev held him off and went on to push Woodley out of bounds for the first point of the bout.

After being forced out of bounds again by Chimaev, Woodley went for another takedown. Chimaev stopped him, and he lifted Woodley up to execute a slam. The former middleweight champ then got Woodley down in full for the pin in 94 seconds.

Chimaev is now 2-0 in RAF. He made his debut earlier this year at RAF 10, pinning Dillon Danis. Chimaev has not fought in UFC since losing the middleweight title to Sean Strickland at UFC 328 in May.
