Loik Radzhabov entered UFC Fight Night 238 the underdog but exited with a victory over Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady.
The featherweight fight kicked off Saturday’s card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and turned out to be a fun back-and-forth brawl with a highlight-reel ending. Radzhabov (18-5-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) defeated Al-Selwady (15-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with punches and a stoppage at 0:49 of Round 3.
Radzhabov set the tone early with a big flurry in the opening minutes of Round 1. Al-Selwady weathered the storm and found success in Round 2, but it was ultimately Radzhabov who ended the fight early in Round 3.
A big right hand floored Al-Selwady, who then ate a dozen-plus strikes as referee Chris Tognoni looked on.

With the victory, Radzhabov gets back in the win column after a loss to Mateusz Rebecki. On the flip side of the equation, Al-Selwady loses his UFC debut after an impressive Dana White’s Contender Series win over George Hardwick.
