Tofiq Musayev had the best performance of his octagon career and beat Ludovit Klein as the underdog in their UFC Fight Night 283 featured preliminary-card bout.
Musayev (24-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was sharp from the outset of the lightweight contest on Saturday at Belgrade Arena in Serbia. He connected some good shots over the first round and beyond, then finally put Klein (24-6-1 MMA, 8-4-1 UFC) down with some hard strikes, eventually getting the TKO stoppage at the 4:07 mark of Round 2.
Check out the replay of the final sequence below (via X):
Musayev, 36, was fired up after getting his first stoppage win inside the octagon, and said he wants a high-ranked name at 155 pounds.
"Age is just a number," Musayev said through an interpreter in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. "I will keep going. Hey Dana (White), give me top 15 next."
