Makwan Amirkhani and Jason Knight put on a memorable performance at the UFC Fight Night 130: Thompson vs. Till event at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England on Sunday.
The two were the first fight on the main card to not have a finish, but that doesn’t mean the two Featherweight warriors didn’t get the crowd on their feet multiple times from bell-to-bell.
