Turkey
30-second finish earns contract
Yakhyaev defeated Alik Lorenz via TKO (punches) at 0:30 of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of fight fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Yakhyaev looked every bit the part of a (-1200) betting favorite in this one, as he opened with an overhand right that knocked his opponent back. He proceeded to follow him to the cage, and it wasn't long before Lorenz was crumbling to his knees and referee Mark Smith was jumping in. Yakhyaev only absorbed one significant strike in this one, so the possibility for a quick turnaround is in play. At just 24 years old, Yakyaev is the latest in a long line of Chechnyan-born fighters to join the UFC roster.
