Already the Ares FC welterweight champion, Abdouraguimov (16-1) was down on the scorecards and en route to a lopsided decision loss before stunning Rafal Haratyk with a Hail Mary kneebar submission with just 25 seconds left on the clock to capture the vacant Ares FC middleweight title.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abdouraguimov had landed just 19 significant strikes and been mostly bullied by his much larger opponent over the five-round affair before pulling off the shocking come-from-behind submission at the 4:35 mark of Round 5.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch video of the dramatic sequence below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"x76ihet xwmqs3e x112ta8 xxxdfa6 x6ikm8r x10wlt62\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100064662463499%2Fvideos%2F737049457618219%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"ObmQ4L\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Known for his relentless grappling and wrestling attack, Abdouraguimov got off to a decent enough start, winning the first round on many judges scorecards. But the change in weight was clearly draining, and it wasn\u2019t long before he was resorting to pulling guard and throwing up loose armbar attempts off his back. By the time Haratyk found full mount in the fourth round, the referee was warning Abdouraguimov that if he didn\u2019t find ways to improve positions, the bout would get waived off.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aA7nIj\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fifth round started off better for Abdouraguimov, a takedown early, from which Haratyk fought his way back standing, into another guard pull, but this time with a sweep into a deep mounted guillotine that had Haratyk in all kinds of trouble. When the Polish fighter fought his way free and back to top control, it seemed Abdouraguimov\u2019s last desperate chance had been lost.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WKDCtq\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s when the man pulled out a miracle.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">Abdoul &quot;The Lazy King&quot; Abdouraguimov submits Rafa\u0142 Haratyk via kneebar 4:35 R5 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BJochSmzoR\">pic.twitter.com\/BJochSmzoR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Neo Vale Tudo (@NeoValeTudo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeoValeTudo\/status\/1616570723497086976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 20, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"F28Hen\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the victory, Abdouraguimov becomes the concurrent Ares FC welterweight and middleweight title holder\u2014bringing his record to a stellar 16-1 (1 NC) in the process. After the bout, Ares president (and MMA Factory owner) Fernand Lopez was open with his expectations that one of his promotion\u2019s brightest talents was likely on his way to the UFC. So it just may be that fans of the Lazy King will see him debuting in the Octagon sometime soon in 2023.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We have our first DOUBLE CHAMPION! \ud83c\udfc6\ud83c\udfc6<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ARES11?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ARES11<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9rXbOf2XTT\">pic.twitter.com\/9rXbOf2XTT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ARES Fighting Championship (@ares_fighting) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ares_fighting\/status\/1616569985090060297?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 20, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those who wish to see all the action, the entire Ares FC 11\u2014including the Abdouraguimov vs. Haratyk main event\u2014is<a href=\"https:\/\/ufcfightpass.com\/live\/232542\/ares-11\">\u00a0available on Fight Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the top regional talents in the MMA world just pulled off an early frontrunner for 2023\u2019s Comeback of the Year.
