Sadykhov, hailed by the crowd as the “homegrown athlete”, dominated the action from the start. After a balanced exchange in the first few minutes, Motta surprised with precise blows that hit his opponent’s face. The Azeri’s reaction, however, was immediate: a relentless sequence of elbows nullified the Brazilian’s momentum and shook his defenses at the end of the first round.
In the second round, Sadykhov's strategy remained effective. A precise elbow opened a cut on Motta's forehead, who persisted in advancing, but found himself suffocated by the pressure and precision of his opponent's forceful blows. The outcome occurred when a lightning right punch knocked the Brazilian down.
