Makhmud Muradov is quickly becoming a name to watch in the UFC’s middleweight division.
Following 13 months between fights, Muradov returned at UFC 257 and he made a huge impression with a striking display that eventually put Andrew Sanchez away in the third round. While Muradov had seemingly controlled the majority of the fight, he wasn’t going to be satisfied without a finish as he blasted Sanchez with an overhand right followed by a barrage of punches that forced referee Jason Herzog to stop the contest.
The end came at 2:59 in the third round as Muradov moves to 3-0 in the UFC.
