AMIRKHANI vs WILKINSON
After spectacular finishes in his first two UFC victories, featherweight prospect Makwan Amirkhani showed off his wrestling game in his third trip to the Octagon on Saturday, winning a three-round unanimous decision over Mike Wilkinson in a UFC Fight Night prelim bout at the O2 Arena in London, England.
Scores were 30-27 and 29-28 twice.
Amirkhani got a quick takedown to start the fight and he moved even quicker into side control. He eventually settled into Wilkinson’s guard in an attempt to fire off some strikes, and with 1:45 left, he briefly achieved the mount position.
