Edil Esengulov wins at middleweight after eight-year journey from bantamweight

Edil Esengulov has achieved his 27th career victory, defeating top-level opponent Ibrahim Magomedov in dominant fashion. What makes this remarkable is Esengulov's eight-year journey through weight classes—he started his career fighting at bantamweight (61 kg) and has now reached middleweight (84 kg). The victory was particularly impressive given the caliber of his opponent. The commentator expressed strong interest in seeing how Esengulov would perform against someone from the top five rankings.
