Edilov defeated Bojan Mihajlovic via TKO (punches) at 2:32 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night 115 on Saturday in Rotterdam.
ANALYSIS
This fight was thorough domination for Edilov. On the feet, Mihajlovic had no answers and ate a ton of shots. The beating continued on the ground. It appeared as if Edilov could have easily finished the fight if he brought it back to the feet, but he was content raining down shots on his opponent. In the second round, Edilov scored another takedown and continued the beatdown. The referee had finally seen enough about halfway through the round. The Chechen heavyweight is now riding an 11-fight winning streak that dates back to 2013.
