The third pay-per-view bout at the UFC 228: Woodley vs. Till event at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Saturday night saw the return of the highly-touted UFC Featherweight contender Zabit Magomedsharipov, who met Brandon Davis inside the Octagon. Davis was a late replacement for Zabit’s originally scheduled opponent, Yair Rodriguez.
As expected, the Dagistan prospect is the real deal. He used a number of incredibly awkward, but effective kicks and overwhelming takedowns to set up one of the craziest kneebars you’ll ever see inside the Octagon for the second round submission finish over Davis.
The official time of the submission was 3:46 of the second round.
