With this triumph Askárov accumulates 11 victories in his career in mixed martial arts.
–
The Russian mixed martial arts fighter, Askar Askárov, was about to deliver a blunt knockout in the first round to his opponent, the American Tim Elliott, when he hit a blow that almost knocked him to the canvas.
Askárov’s 27-year-old performance crowned him for a split decision as the winner of the flyweight crash, which is part of the preliminary UFC 246, which takes place this Saturday in Las Vegas. The Russian won his first UFC victory and remains without any defeat in his 11–0–1 career. On the other hand, Elliot accumulates two consecutive losses, which reduce their mark to 15-10-1.
