Why it matters

- Back-to-back submission losses represent a significant pattern for Abdurakov, likely forcing a reassessment of his ground defense ahead of any future assignments.
- A dominant finish in round three suggests Vartanyan has the cardio and finishing instincts to close out fights deep into a contest, a difficult problem for any future opponent to solve.
