For his first fight in the UFC, Ikram Aliskerov made a strong impression by winning by KO in the 1st round.
In the preliminary card, Dagestani Ikram Aliskerov wasted no time. In the first minutes of the fight, he demonstrated all his talent in boxing. Indeed, after a rather messy sequence, he sends a huge right to the chin of his evening opponent, Phil Hawes. The latter, heavily hit, falls completely inert. The Russian wins by KO in the 1st round, and therefore validates his first appearance in the UFC!
