Abdulmalik Aliev took a unanimous decision over Marat Nessar at Oktagon 96, earning the nod on all three scorecards in one of the opening bouts of the night.
Two judges scored the fight 29-27 for Aliev, while the third turned in a more lopsided 30-26. The result was never in doubt on the cards, with no split and no majority call.
The scoring offers a clear read on how the fight played out. A 29-27 card means Aliev took two of the three rounds, while the 30-26 sheet gave him all three. Taken together, that is eight rounds awarded to Aliev across the 24 possible scorecard rounds in the fight's scoring, a consistent margin that points to control rather than a close, contested affair. No judge gave Nessar more than one round on any single card.
The fight took place on the early part of the card, so it served as an opener rather than a headline attraction. Opening bouts at Oktagon events often set the tone for the evening, and a clean decision win gives Aliev a result to build on.
Why it matters
- Aliev leaves Oktagon 96 with a unanimous decision on his record, the most decisive type of judged victory.
- The 30-26 card shows at least one judge saw a clean sweep, which strengthens his case for a step up in competition.
- Nessar suffers a defeat in which he was not awarded more than a single round on any scorecard.
Further details on the fighters' records, rankings and recent form are not part of this report, and the bout's broader divisional implications will become clearer as Oktagon announces its next cards. For now, the outcome is straightforward: Aliev did enough in every round to leave no doubt with the judges.
