The woes continue for “Mr. Finland.”
Makwan Amirkhani made his first post-UFC fighting appearance Saturday at OKTAGON 54 in Ostrava, Czechia, and was finished by budding welterweight star Mochamed Machaev.
Machaev (14-1) finished a swollen Amirkhani (17-10) in Round 3 as part of the promotion’s $1 million Tipsport Gamechanger tournament opening round.
Amirkhani was likely down two rounds on the cards by the time the fight hit Round 3. Machaev didn’t allow him time for a finish, though, as he drilled Amirkhani with a check left hook. Amirkhani dropped onto all fours and absorbed a pair of follow-up punches that sealed the deal.
A star is born
