THE FIGHT
In the first seconds of the fight, Umar was shocked when a cross from Amakhan grazed his head and knocked him down. However, from then until the end of the first round it was a walk for the Russian who, while still on the ground, began to control the confrontation and spent practically the entire remaining four minutes dominating his rival and leaving him with his back on the ground and defending himself.
The first moves of the second round saw the two fighters exchanging blows openly in the center of the cage, however, like a good Nurmagomedov, Umar used the jab to confuse Almakhan, make his rival relax in defense and get another takedown. Almakhan tried to get up without success and Umar returned to a dominant position and punished the Kazakh with rain and elbows from mount. Like a tick, Usman managed another takedown just seconds after his rival got up and the scenario of dominance, punches and elbows repeated itself again.
The last part started at a slower pace, with the two fighters exchanging blows calmly in the center of the cage, however, with just over a minute, Umar took down Almakhan again and returned to his dominant position in the confrontation, punishing the Kazakh with punches and elbows from mount. With Almakhan tired, Nurmagomedov remained in a dominant position in the fight until the final bell.

In the opening seconds of the second half, Erceg landed a beautiful cross that led to Schnell's immediate knockout and declared the Australian's victory.
