Taps out after fast start
Kakhramonov lost to Said Nurmagomedov via submission (ninja choke) at 3:50 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Kakhramonov is going to be kicking himself following this one, considering he was dominating prior to the stoppage and seemingly on his way to an easy decision victory. An excellent wrestler, Kakhramonov landed 5-of-12 takedown attempts, totaling 7:52 worth of control time. Then, Kakhramonov allowed Nurmagomedov to clamp on a choke and referee Keith Peterson was stepping in moments later. It won't make Kakhramonov feel any better, but he clearly appeared to be the better fighter in a bout which was a pick 'em when the evening began.

Leans on takedown in victory
Kakhramonov defeated Ronnie Lawrence via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC on ESPN 39 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Kakhramonov picked up a submission victory over Trevin Jones in his UFC debut last August, but this was his true coming out party. He put forth one of the best wrestling performances we have seen in recent memory. Kakhramonov connected on 10-of-16 takedowns, good for 12:19 worth of control time. Just stunning numbers for a 15-minute bout. It goes without saying there is ridiculous upside here. Kakhramonov won't turn 27 years of age until the middle of November. Keep an eye on him moving forward.
