Tofiq Musayev VS Ignacio Bahamondes

This lightweight contest evolved into an incredibly grueling and bloody war. Ignacio Bahamondes started strong, dropping Tofiq Musayev with a perfectly timed counter left hand in the second round. Just as Bahamondes looked to finish, Musayev controversially grabbed the fence, which allowed him to reverse the position and land a brutal, slicing elbow that severely cut Bahamondes open. For the remainder of the second and throughout the third round, Musayev utilized heavy top control to punish a bloodied Bahamondes. Although Bahamondes managed a late sweep to take Musayev's back in the closing minute, he couldn't find the finish, resulting in Musayev taking a hard-fought unanimous decision victory.

The lightweight clash pits Musayev’s knockout power against Bahamondes’ kickboxing pedigree, making a classic striker‑vs‑striker showdown that fans love. Both fighters are coming off contrasting results—Musayev suffered a submission loss in his UFC debut, while Bahamondes rebounded with a spectacular KO and a submission win.
