Askar Askarov Opens Up Main Card With Victory
4 years agoAskar Askarov remains unbeaten and continues to impress, defeating Alexandre Pantoja by unanimous decision. After his split draw with Brandon Moreno, Askarov has gone on to win his next two bouts. The former ACB champion connected with 41 significant strikes and two takedowns. With the win over the No. 4-ranked Pantoja, he may have himself at the top of the line for a future flyweight title shot. With a new champion crowned with the vacant flyweight title on the line in this event's main event, new rankings for the division are bound to be shaken up. Askarov has a chance to come out on the winning end. If so, he may be a fighter to ride in fantasy. When the fight counts, he typically gets it done with a highlight finish.
