The fight

With ease, Rakhmonov entered takedowns and saw Magny fall. On top, the Kazakh took a stance and delivered hard blows to the North American. The arsenal of blows included elbows, transitions and spins that bothered the opponent. Neil still looked for a submission, but couldn't get the adjustment underneath.

Shavkat started with a kick to the waist, stuck and put Magny back on the ground. Glued to the fence, the fighter weighed his hips and cautiously entered his opponent's guard, always using technical movements. In the final stretch of the round, Rakhmonov secured a guillotine choke to overcome Neil.
