Murtazali Magomedov made an immediate impression on his UFC debut at UFC Vegas 119, submitting Melsik Bagdasaryan with a rare twister finish in round one to push his professional record to a perfect 11-0 and earn a place among active unbeaten fighters with more than ten wins. On the same card, Andre Lima suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Kevin Borjas, dropping to 11-1 and falling off that same list.
Magomedov, 26, is one of the more dynamic grapplers on the roster based on his career numbers. The orthodox fighter stands five-foot-nine with a 70-inch reach and lands an eye-catching 5.17 takedowns and 5.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, numbers that set up his finishing ability. He also produces 4.83 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, signaling a well-rounded offensive game.
Lima, 27, came in carrying an unblemished record and had shown plenty of promise for Team Lucas Mineiro out of Brazil. Standing five-foot-seven with a 67-inch reach, the orthodox fighter lands 3.94 significant strikes per minute at an impressive 56 percent accuracy and mixes in 1.11 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 0.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes. The loss to Borjas is his first as a professional.
Borjas, the 28-year-old Peruvian fighting out of Pitbull Martial Arts Center, improved to 11-5 with the victory. The five-foot-five orthodox fighter generates 3.87 significant strikes per minute at 42 percent accuracy and earned the unanimous nod against Lima on the Vegas 119 card.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's unbeaten record and elite grappling output make him an immediate name to watch in his division
- The twister submission is one of the rarest finishes in MMA, underlining his submission creativity
- Lima's first career loss ends his run on the unbeaten list but his striking accuracy and mixed-game skillset keep him a credible contender at 11-1
- Borjas's win over a previously undefeated opponent is the biggest result of his UFC career to date
