Edil Yessengulov delivered an impressive performance against top contender Ibrahim Magomedov in his middleweight debut. Remarkably, Yessengulov began his career at bantamweight eight years ago and has now achieved his 27th victory, having moved all the way up to middleweight. He dominated the highly-regarded Magomedov throughout the bout. The post notes that it would be very interesting to see how Yessengulov performs against someone ranked in the top five of the division, given his commanding performance against a top-level opponent in his new weight class.
