For a minute there, it looked like Michael Johnson had found the solution to defeating the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The Blackzilians fighter landed big bombs and had the undefeated Nurmagomedov wobbly.
But then the fighter we all remembered came back to the fore.
Nurmagomedov relentlessly mauled Johnson for the remainder of their UFC 205 fight at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night before finishing him at 2:31 of the final round with a Kimura.
With the victory, Nurmagomedov improved to 24-0, 8-0 in the UFC, and made his case for a shot at the UFC lightweight title.
