Zubaira Tukhugov On Losing End Of Split Decision
4 years agoComing overweight at 150lbs did not aid Zubaira Tukhugov as he dropped the split decision to open up Saturday's main card. He was out-struck, landing 35 significant strikes compared to Hakeem Dawodu's 69. Tukhugov was unable to get his ground game working, only landing one of seven takedown attempts. After entering the UFC and starting out 3-0, Tukhugov is now 1-2-1 in his last four. "Warrior" is still dangerous in this division as both of his losses were by split decision. If his next opponent is ranked in the 20 to 30 range, Tukhugov should be an interesting roster-spot filler.
