LAS VEGAS – A new heavyweight contender could be in the making.
In the UFC 296 preliminary card opener, promotional debutant Shamil Gaziev walked through Martin Buday for a standing TKO stoppage at 0:56 of Round 2. The event took place at T-Mobile Arena.
From the opening bell, Gaziev (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) damaged Buday (13-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) with punches of all variations. Even his jabs seemed to get a big reaction out of Buday, who was quickly sliced up and bleeding.
