Gauge Young got his first win inside the Octagon at UFC Shanghai, besting Maheshate via decision.
While Maheshate has a clear advantage in the stand-up during the opening round, Young started to find his timing in the second, repeatedly landing his jab and mixing in some takedown attempts.
With the fight potentially tied up going into the third, Young continued to flex his grappling skills, tying up Maheshate against the fence. Less than 90 seconds to go in the scrap, Maheshate attempted his own takedown, but he failed to get Young to the mat.
