Otari Tanzilovi
Georgia
Drops decision in UFC debut
Tanzilovi lost to Shane Collins via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Tanzilovi accepted this fight a little over a week ago, up a weight class from where he typically competes. He managed to land 5-of-9 takedowns for 4:14 worth of control time, but did next to nothing with his positional advantage. Collins was able to work his way back his feet without issue repeatedly, and Tanzilovi was outworked on the feet from there. The Georgian is going to get another chance with the company due to his willingness to "save" this bout. His next fight will almost certainly come at 135 pounds.
