Easily dispatches Andre Muniz
Aliskerov defeated Andre Muniz via TKO (punches) at 4:54 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
These two were originally scheduled to fight in early-February in Saudi Arabia, at which point Muniz withdrew due to a passport issue. The two finally got it on here, and Aliskerov left zero doubt as to who was the better man. Ikram kept things standing and predictably dominated, hurting Muniz with power shots before finally managing to put him away with just seconds to go in Round 1. The 32-year-old Russian is now 3-1 in the UFC, with all three wins coming via knockout. He has two career losses in 18 pro bouts, and they came against Robert Whittaker (in the UFC) and Khamzat Chimaev (in Brave CF). Aliskerov is deserving of another step up in competition.

Muniz fight rescheduled

ANALYSIS

Aliskerov will look to bounce back from his recent defeat at the hands of Robert Whittaker and get back to his winning ways. Look for this fight to be a wrestling clinic as both fighters boast impressive records in submission finishes (5-0 for Aliskerov, 15-1 for Muniz).
