Abubakar Vagaev vs. Beslan Ushukov II & Felipe Froes vs. Salman Zhamaldaev RBR

10-9 Skříšovský close. Taken down again early. But Zhulagov does nothing, until attempting a poor inverted triangle. Skříšovský defends and then gets one top - a position he maintains for about a minute until the ref stands it up. Zhulagov shoots for a deperate takedown with about 20 seconds and Skříšovský locks up a nice D'arce that looks deep - but time runs out and Zhulagov survives the round. 29-28 Skříšovský

 

Zhulagov wins a decision.

 

Valmir Lázaro vs. Kirill Sukhomlinov- 3 rounds at Lightweight

 

10-9 Lázaro from what I saw. The feed went down for a while.

 

Same story. Problems with the official feed. But whatever I did see Lazaro appeared to be in complete control. Jab + Low Kick clinic.

 

Lázaro fights a lot like a poor mans Anderson Silva

 

10-9 Lázaro - More of the same... Lázaro is landing the jab at will and Sukhomlinov's face is a swollen red mask as a result. Sukhomlinov's trying to get in with winging shots - but Lázaro is slipping them easy.. In addition to the steady jab he's landing a lot of low kicks, along with the occasional hard kick to the mid section.

30-27 Lázaro

All 3 judges score it 30-27 for Lázaro.

 

That's about as clinical a striking performance as you'll see in MMA..... Educated use of the jab, good knowledge of distance.. Occasional low kick and hard kicks to the body. Lázaro is not a high level guy - but that's about as complete of a striking performance as you'll see in MMA.

Shamil Abdulaev vs. Paulo Bueno - 3 rounds at Middleweight

 

Abdulaev comes out aggressive opening with 2 high kicks that are both blocked.. But he follows up with a killer switch kick + right hook combo that drops Bueno hard and the follow up ground and pound finishes the job. It's all over inside 31 seconds.

 

Elias Silvério vs. Goity Dazaev - 3 rounds at Welterweight

 

Stream abruptly cut to Chechen news.....

 

What's the point of streaming these cards if they're going to constantly be interrupted by the state news? Infuriating....

 

Zhamaldaev won via SD.
