More Fantasy News
Not competitive in UFC debut
Mozharov lost to Alonzo Menifield via TKO (elbows) at 4:40 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Very few fighters only get one opportunity to compete in the UFC, but Mozharov may be the rare exception. On top of being dominated and finished by Menifield in Round 1 in his company debut here, there are reports Mozharov has fought under several different names in addition to cherry picking his opponents and other underhanded tactics in an attempt to build up his record the best he could. Perhaps the company and UFC President Dana White might look past this if Mozharov was Jon Jones, but as we saw inside the Octagon here, he is not. This is a fascinating story that is yet to reach a conclusion.
