ANALYSIS
Commentators at cageside almost didn't realize it had happened, but a flush jab in the early stages of Round 1 stumbled Zurchervia, allowing "The Highlight" to move in for the finish. While we didn't get much time to see much of his fighting style, Magomedov holds an undefeated record with a 100 percent finish rate. He is a fighter who generally welcomes action, which should mean interesting matchups at featherweight. Magomedov moves to 10-0-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
