Edil Yessengulov delivered a dominant performance against top-level opponent Ibrahim Magomedov in his middleweight debut, marking his 27th career victory. The win is particularly notable because Yessengulov began his MMA career eight years ago competing at bantamweight (61 kg) and has now successfully moved up to middleweight (84 kg). The post expresses strong interest in seeing how Yessengulov would fare against top-5 competition in the division. His ability to control and defeat a highly-ranked opponent in his first bout at the weight class suggests significant potential at middleweight.
