Shara Magomedov fights close, but wins in UFC
Michal surprised in the first round, reduced Shara's chances and put heat on the home athlete. The Pole entered with straight blows and attempted takedowns to prevent the Russian from enjoying the fight.
The second round, however, was better for Shara, who had more space to throw knees and high kicks, which are her specialties. Michal had a cut on his eyebrow, which hindered him in the fight on several occasions.
In the third round, Oleksiejczuk continued to march forward, but still suffered from Magomedov's kicks to the face. In the final minute, the Pole put the fight on the ground, threw blows and left the fans in doubt about a possible turnaround in the fight.
