Nazim Sadykhov had his game stifled by Terrance McKinney for the first round at UFC on ESPN 49. In the second, however, he turned the tables.
After giving up a takedown to McKinney (13-6 MMA, 3-3 UFC) in the opening frame of the lightweight main card opener at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and having his back controlled for much of the frame, Sadykhov (9-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) wouldn’t allow the same to happen in the second.
Sadykhov trapped McKinney’s arm behind his back, locked in a rear-naked choke, and forced a quick tap.
