Leandro Higo, the 36-year-old Brazilian veteran who entered the bout at 23-7, absorbed the loss against Magomed Magomedov. A grappling-oriented fighter who stands five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach, Higo has built much of his career around precision, posting a striking accuracy rate of nearly 60 percent across his career, though his overall output sits at just 0.4 significant strikes per minute.
