Islam Makhachev didn't seem bothered by the bright lights as he picked up a third-round TKO win over Thiago Moises in his first main event at UFC on Vegas 26.
Makhachev put in a very working man's performance. He plied his signature ground control at various spots throughout the fight. He also utilized just enough boxing to hold his own on the feet and open takedown opportunities.
As usual with Makharchev, Moises didn't have much opportunity to mount his own offense. He did manage to take down the Dagestan-native once but turned it into next to nothing.
