The UFC Moscow prelims just concluded with promotional newcomer Khalid Murtazaliev battering 10-year UFC veteran C.B. Dollaway at the end of the second round. Despite Dollaway in full-fetal mode absorbing unanswered strikes, the referee Herb Dean allowed the beating to resume until the round expired. Only after Dollaway was unable to stand up after the round did the official move in to assess whether or not the fight needed to be stopped. Thankfully, the referee stopped the bout and Dollaway was spared any further unnecessary punishment. That was a bit hard to watch to be quite frank.
Petr Yan and Jin Soo Son left it all inside of the Octagon in Russia, with each man giving it their best up until the final bell.
