LAS VEGAS – Ikram Aliskerov wasted no time leaving a lasting impression at Dana White Contender Series.
The Dagestan native submitted Mario Sousa just a couple of minutes into their middleweight contest, forcing the Brazilian to tap after locking up a nasty kimura at DWCS 54. The bout took place on Tuesday night at the UFC Apex.
Despite defending the first two takedown attempts, the third was the charm for Aliskerov (13-1), who locked up the kimura submission moments after the fight hit the ground.
It was a dominant showing that put Aliskerov on a five-fight winning streak. The 29-year-old has only lost once as a professional, and that defeat came against top UFC contender Khamzat Chimaev back at Brave FC in 2019.
