The Dagestani team will have to go back to the drawing board regarding Tagir Ulanbekov’s next move.
Islam Makhachev had a tough night as a cornerman at UFC Qatar this past Saturday. One Makhachev’teammate, Saygid Izagakhmaev, dropped a split decision in his UFC debut against Nicolas Dalby, and another teammate, Ulanbekov, suffered a submission loss against Kyoji Horiguchi (35-5).
Makhachev subsequently revealed that Ulanbekov had a terrible weight cut that left him drained before the fight.
